Button Mushroom and Immunologic effects
The immune system is the
set of cells and their activity against antigens or infectious agents
that comprises of the body's defense system against diseases. The
immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing
infections. Beside foods and nutritional supplements, herbs also play a
important role in helping the immune system defend against viruses and
bacteria attacks.
In number of studies, Mushrooms have
been shown to enhance immune response. according to Jean Mayer USDA
Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, white
button mushroom showed to enhance both innate and T cell-mediated
immunity leading to a more efficient surveillance and defense mechanism
against microbial invasion and tumor development, through promotion
of DC maturation and enhance their antigen-presenting function.(1). A.
bisporus polysaccharides isolated from white button
mushrooms, exhibited macrophage immunomodulating and antitumor
activities, through stimulation the production of nitric oxide,
interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α via activation of nuclear
factor-κB with the production p50/105 heterodimers(2).
