Hypoglycaemic activity of Ganoderma triterpenoids A series of in vitro studies have showed that Ganoderma lucidum (fruiting bodies) extract, including reishi spore oil and reishi spore powder, has a strong inhibitory effect on human aldose reductase activity. Ganoderic acid Df, a lanostane-type triterpenoid, exhibited potent aldose reductase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 22.8µM. It was subsequently demonstrated that ganoderol B, which was isolated [...]

Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules that are produced in the body naturally as a byproduct of metabolism. Free radicals are beneficial to the cell signalling and immune system, as well as maintenance of normal body functioning. However, excessive formation or insufficient removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) may [...]
