Exploring the Hepatoprotective Effect of Agaricus bisporus Based on Network Pharmacology by WANG Jie, WANG Jinmei, LIU Hui, LIU Xuguang, GUO Wenjing, HE Hongping

“…The antioxidant capacity in mice was significantly enhanced, as evidenced by a significant increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities (P < 0.001) and a significant decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) content (P < 0.01). Detection of the mRNA and protein expression levels of relevant genes was performed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot techniques, showing that compared with the model group, the expression of the Bcl-2 in the high-dose group significantly increased (P < 0.001), while the expression of MYC, NF-κB1, RELA and MMP9 significantly decreased (P < 0.01). …”
