[Anti-cancer mechanism]
Japanese scholars reported that Ganoderma lucidum extract has anti-tumor effects, and found that polysaccharides containing a small amount of protein extracted from Ganoderma lucidum have anti-tumor activity against mouse sarcoma S-180. The tumors inoculated in half of the animals given the drug disappeared, and the tumor inhibition rate reached 83.9%. Ganoderma lucidum crude polysaccharide D has an immune-boosting effect, can enhance the phagocytic function of mice, improve the body's resistance to adverse environments and hypoxia tolerance, and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Recently, it has been found that Lingyi polysaccharide D6 can promote protein synthesis, improve hematopoietic function, induce cytochrome P-450, etc., and regulate cell metabolism. This may be one of the mechanisms of action of Ganoderma lucidum to strengthen the body.
