Journal ArticleDOI
Mushrooms, tumors, and immunity.
TL;DR: The antitumor mechanisms of several species of whole mushrooms as well as of polysaccharides isolated from Lentinus edodes, Schizophyllum commune, Grifola frondosa, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are mediated largely by T cells and macrophages, and the means by which they modulate the immune system and potentially exert tumor-inhibitory effects are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc deficiency and immune function.
Carl L. Keen,M E Gershwin +1 more
TL;DR: The recent observation that Zn may be critical for the activity and binding of protein kinase C in lymphocyte membranes suggests that another fruitful area of research will involve examination of the influence of Zn deficiency on lymphocyte membrane structure and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gary L. Henderson,Martha R. Harkey,M E Gershwin,Robert M. Hackman,Judith S. Stern,David M. Stresser +5 more
TL;DR: Herbal products containing evening primrose oil, Ginkgo biloba, kava, and St. John's Wort could potentially inhibit the metabolism of co-administered medications whose primary route of elimination is via cytochrome P450.
Journal ArticleDOI
