Abstract:

Ganoderma lucidum is a highly valued medicinal and edible mushroom rich in bioactive components with broad pharmacological activities. This study systematically compared the inhibitory effects of ethanol extracts and crude polysaccharides from G. lucidum at different growth stages on the activity of key enzymes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. The results revealed that ethanol extracts from the cap-opening stage exhibited the highest inhibition rates on α-amylase and α-glucosidase, while those from the primordial stage showed the strongest inhibition on lipase. For crude polysaccharides, the maximum inhibition rates on α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and lipase were observed during the primordial, cap-opening, and mature stages, respectively. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing the harvesting period of G. lucidum and guiding its product development.

Key words: Ganoderma lucidum, extracts, glucose and lipid metabolism enzymes, inhibition activity rate
