African rosewood (Pterocarpus erinaceus) is an endemic, highly exploited and endangered tree species in arid semi-arid zones of West Africa. Identifying optimum conditions for seed propagation storage critical its conservation. This study assessed the effects four pretreatments on germination seedling vigour. Varying temperature, duration packaging deterioration were also evaluated 12-months. M...

Hericium erinaceus, an edible and medicinal mushroom, displays various pharmacological activities in the prevention of dementia in conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The present study explored the neuroprotective effects of H. erinaceus mycelium polysaccharide-enriched aqueous extract (HE) on an l-glutamic acid (l-Glu)-induced differentiated PC12 (DPC12) cellular apoptosis ...

The antioxidant, antima...

Total, soluble, insoluble oxalate and mineral content of 20 edible mushrooms were measured using spectroscopic and enzymatic methods. Total oxalate content ranged from 45 (Hericium erinaceus) to 104 (Morchella conica), mg/100 g dry matter (DM), while the soluble oxalate levels ranged from 34 (Lactaius delicious) to 65 (Phellinus florida) mg/100g DM but not detected in Hericium erinaceus, Sparas...

Hericium erinaceus (HE) is an edible mushroom that has been shown to exhibit anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. We investigated the antiangiogenic and antioxidant potentials of ethanol extracts of HE in human endothelial (EA.hy926) cells upon tumor necrosis factor-α- (TNF-α-) stimulation (10 ng/mL). The underlying molecular mechanisms behind the pharmacological efficacies were elucida...

Recent studies have determined that many types of mushroom (eg Hericium spp), may have important physiological functions in humans, including antioxidant activities, the regulation of blood lipid levels and reduction of blood glucose levels. In this study, a methanol extract of the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus was adsorbed on silica gel columns and eluted using polarity gradients of ch...

BACKGROUND Hericium erinaceus, as a commonly used medicine or food, has attracted much attention due to its health effects when used as a home remedy for some diseases. The aim of this work was to investigate the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of aqueous extract of Hericium erinaceus (AEHE) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. METHODS Diabetes was induced in Wistar rats by t...

Functional foods have received considerable attention due to their numerous health benefits. Lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a functional food source that contains bioactive compounds of medicinal importance. The main aim this study was explore antimicrobial and anticancer activities identify H. erinaceus mycelia cultivated on mixed red white jasmine rice (HMR) with the aid solid-s...

A new cerebroside, cerebroside E (1) was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus (Hericiaceae). The structure of 1 was elucidated by a combination of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including extensive 2D NMR, HR-MS, and chemical reactions. Compound 1 was evaluated for its applicability to medicinal use in several human diseases using cell-based assays. As a result, compound 1...
