Effect of Agaricus blazei Murill on the Pulmonary Tissue of Animals with Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes

Table 1

Inhibition of DPPH*, IC₅₀ values for the DPPH assay of aqueous extracts of Agaricus blazei and Lentinula edodes mushrooms, and trolox.

Sample	Inhibition of DPPH (%)
Concentration	0.1 𝜇g/mL	0.25 mg/mL	0.5 mg/mL	1 mg/mL	2 mg/mL	IC50 (mg/mL)
Trolox	91.27	93.53	96.71	99.03	99.89	0.02 ± 0.00
Agaricus blazei	7.28	10.77	17.09	46.32	48.81	1.77 ± 0.08
Lentinula edodes	2.19	4.68	8.33	18.56	30.63	3.22 ± 0.12

Mean ± standard deviation of three individual determinations. Results were based on the values measured at 20 minutes. Trolox was used as positive control. *DPPH: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl.
