Lions Mane sopp

Lions Mane er en matsopp som har vist seg å kunne stimulere NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) og bidra til å reparere skader på nerver, samt dempe betennelse og beskytte mot skader på nerver. En sært interessant medisinsk sopp som har noe forskning bak seg.

Medicinal properties of Hericium erinaceus and its potential to formulate novel mushroom-based pharmaceuticals.

Hericium erinaceus (Bull.: Fr.) Pers., a medicinal mushroom, activates peripheral nerve regeneration.

H. erinaceus is capable of promoting peripheral nerve regeneration after injury.

Anti-inflammatory activity of mycelial extracts from medicinal mushrooms.

These results indicate that extracts from medicinal mushrooms exhibited anti-inflammatory activity that might be attributable to the inhibition of NO generation and can therefore be considered a useful therapeutic and preventive approach to various inflammation-related diseases.

Hericium erinaceus (Bull.: Fr) Pers. cultivated under tropical conditions: isolation of hericenones and demonstration of NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells via MEK/ERK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways.

Taken together, this study suggests that hericenone E potentiated NGF-induced neuritogenesis in PC12 cells via the MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways.

Protective effects of Hericium erinaceus mycelium and its isolated erinacine A against ischemia-injury-induced neuronal cell death via the inhibition of iNOS/p38 MAPK and nitrotyrosine. Hele studien her: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4200813/

These findings confirm the nerve-growth properties of Hericium erinaceus mycelium, which include the prevention of ischemic injury to neurons; this protective effect seems to be involved in the in vivo activity of iNOS, p38 MAPK and CHOP.

Hericium erinaceus (Yamabushitake): a unique resource for developing functional foods and medicines.

 In this article, we provide an overview of the biochemical and pharmacological studies on HE, especially of its antitumor and neuroprotective functions, together with a survey of recent developments in the chemical analysis of its polysaccharides, which comprise its major active components.

Neurotrophic properties of the Lion’s mane medicinal mushroom, Hericium erinaceus (HigherBasidiomycetes) from Malaysia.

In conclusion, the aqueous extract of H. erinaceus contained neuroactive compounds which induced NGF-synthesis and promoted neurite outgrowth in NG108-15 cells.
