Polysaccharides from enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes), could treat acute kidney injury caused by chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin. These mushroom-derived compounds help modify gut bacteria, enhance beneficial fatty acids, and regulate a cell death pathway known as ferroptosis, contributing to improved kidney function and reduced inflammation. This suggest enoki are a natural approach to support kidneys during chemotherapy.
