Hypolipidemic Effect of Pleurotus djamor var. roseus in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesteromic Rats

چکیده
Hypercholesteremia is one of the risk factors for coronary artery disease. Mushrooms are low calorie food with very little fat and are highly suitable for obese persons. The present study highlights the efficacy of edible mushroom Pleurotus djamor var. roseus extracts on total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), High density lipoprotein (HDL) and free fatty acid in experimentally induced hypercholesteromic rats. Five group of rats were employed which includes control, mushroom extract, hypercholesterolemia rats (4 % cholesterol + 1% cholic acid + egg yolk), hypercholesterolemia rats treated with Mevinolin and hypercholesterolemia rats with pretreatment of mushroom extract and each group includes six animals. Results from the present study showed that significant increase in the total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and free fatty acid observed in hypercholesteromic feed rats were significantly reduced in mushroom extract treated hypercholesteromic rats. These results suggest that mushroom supplement provided health benefits by acting on the lipid profile in hypercholesterolemic rats.

Comparison of hypotensive and hypolipidemic effects of Catharanthus roseus leaves extract with atenolol on adrenaline induced hypertensive rats.
The leaves extract of Catharanthus roseus was investigated for hypotensive and hypolipidemic effects in adrenaline-induced hypertensive rats (AIHR) and compared with those of Atenolol in a crossover design. The pharmacologically Active components responsible for hypotensive activities were isolated from plant using bioassay guided purification approach and the structure of the compounds was pro...
متن کاملExtracellular polysaccharide production by a strain of Pleurotus djamor isolated in the south of Brazil and antitumor activity on Sarcoma 180
Polysaccharides with medicinal properties can be obtained from fruiting bodies, mycelium and culture broth of several fungus species. This work was carried out in batch culture using a stirred tank reactor with two different initial glucose concentrations (40-50 g/L) and pH values (3.0-4.0) to enhance extracellular polysaccharides production by Pleurotus djamor UNIVILLE 001 and evaluate antitum...
متن کاملThe genetic structure and diversity of the A and B mating-type genes from the tropical oyster mushroom, Pleurotus djamor.
In most heterothallic mushroom species, inbreeding is avoided by an incompatibility system determined by two loci each with multiple alleles (the A and B mating-type loci). In this study we investigated the genetic structure of the mating-type loci in the tropical oyster mushroom Pleurotus djamor using both positional cloning and degenerate PCR methods. DNA sequences from genomic regions cosegr...

متن کاملEffect of Pleurotus tuber-regium polysaccharides supplementation on the progression of diabetes complications in obese-diabetic rats.
In this study, the effect of mushroom extracellular polysaccharides on fatty acid composition and liver peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) expression in obese-diabetic rats was investigated, and distinguished the association among anti-obesity, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties. Extracellular polysaccharides from three different strains of Pleurotus tuber-regium w...
