Abstract
Mushrooms have been valued throughout the world as both food and medicine for thousands of years. In the present study we report the anti-hyperglycemic effects of two edible mushrooms, Agaricus bispours and Pleurotus ostreatus in allaxon induced hyperglycemic rats. Dried powders of mushrooms A.bisporus and P.ostreatus were administered separately to different set of animals orally in suspension form at the dose of 1000mg/day, in equally divided doses, twice a day, for 30 days (normal and allaxon treated hyperglycemic rats) and serum glucose level were measured. Oral administration of dried mushroom powders in suspension form reduced serum glucose level of allaxon induced hyperglycemic rats. The results suggest that the mushrooms A.bisporus and P.ostreatus have shown significant anti hyperglycemic activity.
