  • Immune Killer-T
    Immune Killer T Research Please see articles & each reference. TITLE : [ANTI-VIRUS RESEARCH OF TRITERPENOIDS IN LICORICE] Abstract Licorice is a leguminous plant of glycyrrhiza. It is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Triterpenoid is one of the mainly active components of licorice. In recent years, the broad-spectrum antiviral activity of many triterpenoids in licorice was confirmed, and these findings have become a hot spot of antiviral immunity. The triterpenoids of licorice has the potential to become a novel broad-spectrum antiviral medicine and will be widely used in the clinical treatment. This review provided a summary of the recent anti-virus research progress on several triterpenoids in licorice, such as glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid and its derivatives. The antiviral roles of triterpenoids in licorice against herpes virus, HIV, hepatitis virus, SARS coronavirus and influenza virus were briefly summarized.

TITLE :EFFECT OF MUSHROOM AGARICUS BLAZEI ON IMMUNE RESPONSE AND DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL CEREBRAL MALARIA Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is debilitating and sometimes fatal. Disease severity has been associated with poor treatment access, therapeutic complexity and drug resistance and, thus, alternative therapies are increasingly necessary. In this study, the effect of the administration of Agaricus blazei, a mushroom of Brazilian origin in a model of CM caused by Plasmodium berghei, strain ANKA, was investigated in mice. Results: Mice treated with A. blazei aqueous extract or fraction C, that shows antioxidant activity, displayed lower parasitaemia, increased survival, reduced weight loss and protection against the development of CM. The administration of A.

Received Date: 24 May, 2021; Accepted Date: 30 May, 2021; Published Date: 07 June, 2021 Abstract Background: Maitake or essential oils intake has been associated with weight loss. Objective: Assess whether maitake or tiny amounts of essential oils (EO) may favour weight loss. Specify the mechanisms of action: modification of microbiota, clearance of liver steatosis, increased gastric voiding, decreased jejunal spasm or improvement of jejunal hypotonia. Methods: Descriptive retrospective epidemiological study with data collected during routine gastroenterological consultations in patients with small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. Results: 206 patients are included: 37 with obesity, 76 with overweight and 93 with normal weight. In obese/overweight patients, maitake, EO or maitake+EO favours weight loss: respectively -8.2 kg +/-5.9 versus 0.5+/-5.2; -6.2 +/- 7.3 versus 0.5+/-5.2 and -6.9 +/- 6.6 versus 1.4+/-5.3 (p<0.001). Maitake releases jejunal spasm whereas EO does not. Maitake or EO decreases liver steatosis.

  • Medical Mushrooms: There's a Fungus Among Us! Robert J. Silver
    Medical Mushrooms: There’s A Fungus Among Us! Robert J. Silver DVM, MS Mushrooms have played important roles in the development of human civilization. Mushrooms have, over the millennia, provided an easily-harvested forest edible that has been cultivated and commercialized into the multi-billion dollar global industry it is in the world today. Mushrooms have been used by indigenous peoples as folk medicines for as long as they have been collected and used for food; they have also served as medicines prior to the age of pharmaceuticals. Mushrooms have provided an other-worldly experience to many, who from that experience glimpsing into alternate universes, have created imaginative and unique music, books, artwork, and social systems that have left an indelible mark on human culture and society. Mushrooms have been the source of many fatal poisonings over the millennia, and are still a common source of ER visits in the summertime for both people and their pets. Today, the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries are learning as much as they can about the beneficial properties of these specialized fungi, in a rush to bring newer and better medicines to market. (1) Today’s presentation is to provide the veterinarian with a foundation of knowledge about mushrooms in general and their properties in general. Medicinal Mushrooms Medicinal mushrooms are macro-fungi found mainly in the class Basidiomycetes, with a few found in the class Ascomycetes. Medicinal mushrooms are becoming more commonly available in the natural products marketplace as the evidence of their value to the immune system and disease management, including cancer, becomes better understood through basic research and clinical trials.
