Inhibitory Effect on In Vitro LDL Oxidation and HMG Co-A Reductase Activity of the Liquid-Liquid Partitioned Fractions of Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Persoon (Lion’s Mane Mushroom)
Figure 3
Effect of H. erinaceus solvent-solvent fractions on inhibiting the oxidation of human LDL (ox-LDL) molecules. The percentage of inhibition of TBARS production at 532 nm indicates the inhibitory extent of ox-LDL production for the respective fraction. Quercetin (Q) was used as the positive control. All the fractions and quercetin were used at 1 mg/mL conc. Data are presented as mean ± SD of triplicate determinations. Mean values with different lower case superscripts (a–f) represent statistically significant difference at 95% level () with post hoc least significance difference (LSD) test.
