Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with an estimated 2–3% prevalence in the population above 65 years of age. The prevalence increases with age, from 1% at age 45–55 to 4% (men) and 2% (women) at age 85. Typical examples are the motor symptoms related to (nonreversible) loss of dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra. [...]

By |2022-11-27T14:27:04+00:00November 27th, 2022|Categories: Mushroom|

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, neuronal loss, and neurofibrillary tangles. In addition, neuroinflammatory processes are thought to contribute to AD pathophysiology. Maitake (Grifola frondosa), an edible/medicinal mushroom, exhibits high nutritional value and contains many health-beneficial, bioactive compounds. It has been reported that proteo-β-glucan, a polysaccharide derived from Maitake (PGM), [...]
