In Vitro and in Vivo Hypolipidemic Effects of Protein-Polysaccharide Complexes from Three Species of Edible Fungi by GAO Chen, LI Wen, CHEN Wanchao, WU Di, ZHANG Zhong, LIU Peng, XIA Yongjun, YANG Yan

“…Animal experiments showed that they significantly inhibited the increase in body mass, triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, blocked the swelling of the swelling of hepatocytes, and inhibited hepatic lipid deposition in mice fed a high-fat diet. In the high-dose group, the hepatic lipid content of mice with hyperlipidemia was reduced from (30.59 ± 0.38)% to (13.74 ± 1.57)%, (9.68 ± 0.73)%, and (7.15 ± 0.39)%, respectively, by the complexes from A. bisporus, S. rugosa and M. esculenta, and the inhibition rates of hepatic lipid droplets by these complexes were (55.09 ± 5.12)%, (68.34 ± 2.37)% and (76.64 ± 1.28)%, respectively. …”
