Abstract
The health-promoting properties of mushrooms are associated with bioactive natural compounds such as polysaccharides and polyphenols. Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of edible white button mushroom (WBM) and medicinal Turkey Tail mushroom (TT) were investigated. The results showed that polysaccharide-rich water extract of WBM and TT exhibit an anti-inflammatory effect in lipopolysaccharide-activated mouse liver cells by attenuating the interleukin (IL)6 and IL1β at mRNA and polysaccharide-rich water extract of WBM by attenuating IL6 and IL1β at protein levels. Also, polysaccharide-rich water and polyphenol-rich ethanolic extracts of WBM stimulated IgA secretion in the human plasma cells (H929 cells) in vitro which was partly mediated by the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. These results suggest that WBM possesses potential anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing properties and could be further assessed for use as a dietary supplement against inflammation and boosting immunity simultaneously.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
