Intrastrain Comparison of the Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity of an Edible Mushroom, Pleurotus giganteus, and Its Potent Neuritogenic Properties

Figure 2

The effects of mushroom aqueous and ethanol extracts on the stimulation of NGF secretion by neurite-bearing PC12 cells in the presence or absence of NGF. NGF (50 ng/mL) was used as the positive control. Values are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. Different letters represent significant differences between samples ( ). represents a significant difference from the control, that is, 50 ng/mL of NGF.
