Extracts from white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) helped protect rat hearts from chemically induced injury by strengthening antioxidant defenses. Rats given the extract showed higher antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD and catalase) and lower markers of damage after heart stress compared to untreated controls.
