Immunomodulatory effects of Agaricus blazei Murill in Balb/cByJ mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Agaricus blazei Murill has been reported to possess biological effects that include immunomodulatory and tumoricidal activities, but its potential effects have not been systematically analyzed in vivo. We evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of A. blazei in Balb/cByJ mice. METHODS 160 male Balb/cByJ mice were divided into four groups and treated with various quantitie...
متن کاملThe Anti-Tumorigenic Mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill Enhances IL-1β Production and Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Human Macrophages
Agaricus blazei Murill (AbM) has been reported to possess immune activity against tumors and infections through stimulation of mononuclear phagocytes. Recently, AbM extract was shown to induce the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), in human monocytes. IL-1β is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated macrophages and monocytes and its secretion is s...
متن کاملDietary supplementation with Agaricus blazei murill extract prevents diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in rats.
OBJECTIVE Dietary supplement may potentially help to fight obesity and other metabolic disorders such as insulin-resistance and low-grade inflammation. The present study aimed to test whether supplementation with Agaricus blazei murill (ABM) extract could have an effect on diet-induced obesity in rats. DESIGN AND METHODS Wistar rats were fed with control diet (CD) or high-fat diet (HF) and ei...

متن کاملEffect of Agaricus blazei Murill on the Pulmonary Tissue of Animals with Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes
The present study was designed to evaluate the oxidative stress as well as the therapeutic effect of Agaricus blazei Muril (A. Blazei) in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. We used 25 Wistar rats, and DM was induced by injecting streptozotocin (70 mg/Kg i.p.). Agaricus blazei Muril was administered daily starting 40 days after disease onset. A. Blazei was tested as an aqueous extract fo...
