Antioxidative and hepatoprotective effects of enzymatic and acidic-hydrolysis of Pleurotus geesteranus mycelium polysaccharides on alcoholic liver diseases

The present work investigated the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of acidic- and enzymatic-hydrolysis mycelium polysaccharide (AcMPS and EnMPS) from Pleurotus geesteranus on alcoholic liver disease (ALD) mice. The animal studies demonstrated that the polysaccharides had potential effects reflected by remitting alcoholic hepatitis, reducing lipid accumulation, preventing oxidative stress, improving inflammatory symptoms, and alleviating...
