Zusammenfassung

Aktuell sind ca. 200 verschiedene Pilzarten weltweit von medizinischem Interesse, deren präventive oder heilungsunterstützende Eigenschaften wissenschaftlich untersucht werden. Das medizinische Spektrum umfasst neben den immunstimulierenden und antikanzerogenen Wirkungen auch die positiven Einflüsse auf den Lipidstoffwechsel. Hericium erinaceus, Agaricus blazei, Auricularia auricula-judae gehören zu den essbaren höheren Pilzen, die durch ihre Inhaltstoffe - primär Makromoleküle, wie Polysaccharide und Proteoglucane - in der medizinischen Forschung neben zahlreichen anderen Pilzextrakten großes Interesse gefunden haben.

Summary

The effect of mushrooms substances on the immune system and body metabolism: Current state of scientific research

Worldwide, based on scientific investigation with regard to preventive or healing characteristics, there are currently about 200 different types of mushrooms that are medically interesting. Most important are the immune stimulating, tumour preventing and anticancerous effects of different biopolymers like polysaccharides and proteoglycanes as well as their positive role in lipid and cardiovascular metabolisms. In this review, we will discuss Hericium erinaceus, Agaricus blazei and Auricularia auriculajudae with various proteoglycanes and other substances that are of medical interest, and are primarily used in Asia.
