A medicinal mushroom: Phellinus linteus.
Phellinus Linteus (Berkeley & M. A. Curtis) Teng (PL) is a medicinal mushroom that has been practiced in oriental countries for centuries to prevent ailments as diverse as gastroenteric dysfunction, diarrhea, haemorrhage and cancers. In an effort to translate the Asian traditional medicines into western-accepted therapies, scientists have demonstrated that the extracts from fruit-bodies or myce...
متن کاملTargeted deletion of Gpbar1 protects mice from cholesterol gallstone formation.
The Gpbar1 [G-protein-coupled BA (bile acid) receptor 1] is a recently identified cell-surface receptor that can bind and is activated by BAs, but its physiological role is unclear. Using targeted deletion of the Gpbar1 gene in mice, we show that the gene plays a critical role in the maintenance of bile lipid homoeostasis. Mice lacking Gpbar1 expression were viable, developed normally and did n...
متن کاملEffects of oral administration of Phellinus linteus on the production of Th1- and Th2-type cytokines in mice.
The mushroom Phellinus linteus (PL) has been shown to have antitumor and immunostimulatory effects. We hypothesized that the hot water extract of PL (WEPL) exerts its significant immunostimulatory effect by inducing production of the Th1-derived cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) by T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes were isolated from the mice fed with 200 mg/kg of WEPL once a day for 4 weeks and...
متن کاملAging per se is an independent risk factor for cholesterol gallstone formation in gallstone susceptible mice.
Cholesterol gallstones occur rarely in childhood and adolescence and increase linearly with age in both genders. To explore whether aging per se increases cholesterol saturation of bile and gallstone prevalence, and to investigate age-related changes in hepatic and biliary lipid metabolism, we studied gallstone-susceptible C57L mice and resistant AKR mice of both genders fed 8 weeks with a lith...
متن کاملMechanisms of gallstone formation in women. Effects of exogenous estrogen (Premarin) and dietary cholesterol on hepatic lipid metabolism.
Our aim was to define mechanisms whereby conjugated estrogens (Premarin, exogenous estrogen; Ayerst Laboratories, New York) increase the risk of developing cholesterol gallstones and to determine the role, if any, of dietary cholesterol. We studied gallbladder motor function, biliary lipid composition and secretion, cholesterol absorption, cholesterol synthesis and esterification by peripheral ...
