Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and renoprotective effects of acidic-hydrolytic polysaccharides by spent mushroom compost (Lentinula edodes) on LPS-induced kidney injury

Increasing evidences have demonstrated that the reactive oxygen species play important roles in the initiation and progress of LPS-induced kidney injury (KI). The present work investigated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and renoprotective effects of acidic spent mushroom compost polysaccharides (ASMCP) by Lentinula edodes against the LPS-induced KI in mice. The results demonstrated that ASMCP showed anti-inflammatory effects on reducing the...
