| Abstract: | Mushrooms represent a major and untapped source of potent new pharmaceutical
products. The antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antinociceptive, antimutagenic,
anticarcinogenic, antitumour, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective and
cardioprotective activities of the methanolic extract of Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) P. Karst. collected from tropical South India were evaluated for the revalidation of its
utilization in Chinese folklore medicine. Review of results is presented in this
paper. |
