Abstract:The antioxidant and lipid-lowering effects of the alcohol extract of Grifola frondosa (G. frondosa) were carried out. The composition content of the alcohol extract was determined first, then the antioxidant capacity was analyzed through the vitro antioxidant experiment and Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) model. In addition, the situation of lipid depositon in C. elegans was observed by oil red O staining, TG concentration and LPS activity were measured to explore their lipid-lowering potential. The results showed that the alcohol extract of G. frondosa was mainly an active protein, the content was 233.67 mg/g. It had significant scavenging ability on DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radicals, and the IC50 values were 3.25 mg/mL, 0.38 mg/mL, and 1.73 mg/mL, respectively. Compared with the blank group, the activities of CAT, T-SOD, GSH-Px, and LPS in the high-dose group were significantly increased by 4.33, 4.88, 2.28, and 3.93 times, respectively. The levels of fat deposition, MDA, and TG decreased significantly, and the levels of MDA and TG in the high-dose group decreased by 55.62% and 50.66%, respectively. In conclusion, the alcohol extract of Grifola frondose has antioxidant capacity in vitro and can enhance the antioxidant enzyme activity in C. elegans. The lipid deposition level and TG concentration in C. elegans were decreased, indicating that it had a good lipid lowering effect. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the high-value utilization of Grifola frondose.
