Effective Extraction

Effective Extraction

Enoki mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) extracted with ultrasound were far more effective than hot-water extracts at protecting colon cells from inflammatory death. The ultrasound fraction reduced disease activity and spleen index in mice, extended colon length, boosted tight junction proteins and intestinal mucus, and promoted short-chain fatty acid production. It also more strongly blocked the NLRP3 inflammatory pathway and lowered pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to the hot-water extract.
