Mushrooms have been used to treat various diseases for thousands of years. In the present study, the effects of Pleurotus sajor-caju mushroom on lipogenesis, lipolysis and oxidative stress in 3T3-L1 cells were investigated. The β-glucan-rich polysaccharides (GE) from P. sajor-caju stimulated lipogenesis and lipolysis but attenuated protein carbonyl and lipid hydroperoxide levels in 3T3-L1 cells...

Objectives: There is evidence that the antioxidant systems are imbalanced in hypercholesterolemic rats due to oxidative stress. Dietary supplementation of Pleurotus sajor-caju and P. florida are anti-hypercholesterolemic in rats. In this study, it was investigated whether these mushrooms have any effects on the antioxidant systems in hypercholesterolemic rat liver, which are altered. Methods: T...

Pleurotus sajor caju spawns prepared, yield fruiting bodies, Aqueous extract of these was used to test for inhibitory against Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Infectivity assay (locallesion) method was employed for the anti-viral activity. Treatments, on host plants, were distributed using half-leaf method. The results indicated that extract of the edible mushroom showed anti-viral property.

OBJECTIVE This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of fungal treated oil palm fronds (FTOPF) on performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and muscle chemical composition. METHODS Eighteen growing crossbred male goats (Thai Native×Anglo Nubian) with 18.7±2.0 kg of initial body weight (BW) were stratified and blocked by BW in a randomized complete block design. Three diets cont...

The application of synthetic dyes in various industries improved the aesthetic properties of the products, but the discharge of dye-containing effluent into water bodies leads to serious environmental problems. Till date, colour removal from effluent is still a challenge due to the absence of economically attractive treatments. In this study, decolourization of a synthetic dye – Remazol brillia...
