Journal ArticleDOI
Medicinal mushrooms as a source of antitumor and immunomodulating polysaccharides.
TL;DR: The present review analyzes the pecularities of polysaccharides derived from fruiting bodies and cultured mycelium in selected examples of medicinal mushrooms and concludes that high molecular weight glucans appear to be more effective than those of low molecular weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medicinal properties of substances occurring in higher basidiomycetes mushrooms: current perspectives (review).
TL;DR: Clinical intervention studies have demonstrated the therapeutic importance of correcting the hypercholesterolemia and the initial step in lowering cholesterol is a special diet low in fat and saturated fatty acids and rich in crude fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic Effects of Substances Occurring in Higher Basidiomycetes Mushrooms: A Modern Perspective
TL;DR: This review highlights some of the recently isolated and identified substances of higher Basidiomycetes mushrooms origin that express promising antitumor, immune modulating, cardiovascular and hypercholesterolemia, antiviral, antibacterial, and antiparasitic effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current findings, future trends, and unsolved problems in studies of medicinal mushrooms
TL;DR: Several of the mushroom polysaccharide compounds have proceeded through phases I, II, and III clinical trials and are used extensively and successfully in Asia to treat various cancers and other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medicinal mushroom modulators of molecular targets as cancer therapeutics
TL;DR: High-molecular-weight polysaccharide–protein complexes from mushrooms that appear to enhance innate and cell-mediated immune responses, exhibit antitumor activities in animals and humans, and demonstrate the anticancer properties of selenium compounds accumulated in mushrooms are discussed.
