Journal ArticleDOI
Polysaccharides from Agaricus blazei Stimulate Lymphocyte T-Cell Subsets in Mice
TL;DR: It seems that the polysaccharide from Agaricus blazei may be an effective prophylactic, protecting humans against cancer by stimulating lymphocytes such as cytotoxic T-cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-tumor polysaccharide from the mycelium of liquid-cultured Agaricus blazei mill.
TL;DR: Anti‐tumor active polysaccharide against Sarcoma 180 was isolated by DEAE‐Sepharose CL‐6B and Sepharose 4B column chromatography from the hot‐water soluble fraction of the mycelium of liquid‐cultured Agaricus blazei mill and the analyses of 13C‐NMR and GC‐MS suggested that it was preliminarily glucomannan with a main chain of D‐mannopyranosyl residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lemon flavonoid, eriocitrin, suppresses exercise-induced oxidative damage in rat liver
Ken-ichiro Minato,Yoshiaki Miyake,Syuichi Fukumoto,Kanefumi Yamamoto,Yoji Kato,Yoshiharu Shimomura,Toshihiko Osawa +6 more
TL;DR: Eriocitrin administration prior to exercise significantly suppressed the increases in TBARS caused by lipid peroxidation during acute exercise and showed that eriOCitrin was effective in the prevention of oxidative damages caused by acute exercise-induced oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fucogalactan isolated from Sarcodon aspratus elicits release of tumor necrosis factor-α and nitric oxide from murine macrophages
Masashi Mizuno,Yoichi Shiomi,Ken-ichiro Minato,Sachiko Kawakami,Hitoshi Ashida,Hironobu Tsuchida +5 more
TL;DR: Fucogalactan does elicit the release of cytokines such as TNF-alpha and NO, and shows dose dependence at concentrations from 5 to 500 microg/ml in NO production.
Journal ArticleDOI
New potent antioxidative hydroxyflavanones produced with Aspergillus saitoi from flavanone glycoside in citrus fruit.
Yoshiaki Miyake,Ken-ichiro Minato,Syuichi Fukumoto,Kanefumi Yamamoto,Tomoko Oya-Ito,Syunro Kawakishi,Toshihiko Osawa +6 more
TL;DR: The hydroxyflavanones, which were hydroxylated on A ring of flavanone by Aspergillus saitoi, were obtained as potent antioxidants.
