Physiological Activity of Auricularia spp. Water and Methanol Extracts
This study was conducted to investigate the physiological activities of the water and methanol extracts from Auricularia auricula-judae(black and brown) and Auricularia polytricha. Largely, anti-oxidant, anti-tumorigenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic activities were carried out. DPPH scavenging activity was performed on the anti-oxidant test. MTT assay and nitrite scavenging acitivity were performed on the anti-tumorigenic test. The cancer cell were used to HeLa, A549, HT-29 and MCF-7 and normal cell was used as control. lastly, in the anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities, NO assay and α-amyloglucosidase inhibition were performed, repectively.
