Nutrition of stewed chicken with Hericium erinaceus and Lentinus edodes;
Both water extract and alcohol extract of Hericium erinaceus fruiting body have the ability of scavenging free radicals. The three parts of Hericium erinaceus mycelium in bean curd whey are endopolysaccharides, and its potential antioxidant and liver protection effects are evaluated. The results showed that they had different activities in different systems, and showed strong antioxidant and liver protection effects in vitro and in vivo.
Hericium erinaceus mycelium extract can resist hyperglycemia caused by alloxan, and its mechanism may be that Hericium erinaceus polysaccharide binds to specific receptors on cell membrane, and transmits information to mitochondria through cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which improves the activity of sugar metabolizing enzymes, thus accelerating the oxidative decomposition of sugar and lowering blood sugar.
