Effect of Lentinan
1、immune regulation: Lentinus edodes can promote the activation and proliferation of T cells, but also stimulate the function of mononuclear macrophages, promote the production of interleukin, so it has the effect of enhancing immunity.
2、antiviral: Lentinan has a negative charge, can prevent the virus from binding with the host cell in the form of receptor competition inhibition, while it has many cell surface molecules to simulate ligand, can directly bind to the cell, hinder the virus adsorption, so it has antiviral activity.
3、anti-infection: Lentinus edodes can inhibit a variety of bacteria (such as gram-negative bacteria, typhoid bacillus, hemolytic streptococcus, Salmonella typhimurium, etc.) and viruses (such as influenza virus, rotavirus, etc.) infection.
4、antioxidant: Lentinan can improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body, thereby enhancing the ability of the body to remove free radicals, so that cells from damage.

Lentinan has good curative effect in treating gastric cancer,colon cancer,lung cancer,etc.As an immune adjuvant,Lentinan is mainly used to inhibit the occurrence,development and metastasis of tumors,improve the sensitivity of tumors to chemotherapy drugs,improve the physical condition of patients,and extend their life span.
2.Application of Lentinan in the field of health food
Lentinan is a special bioactive substance,which is a biological response enhancer and regulator.It can enhance Humoral immunity and cellular immune function.The antiviral mechanism of Lentinan may lie in its functions of improving the immunity of infected cells,enhancing the stability of cell membrane,inhibiting cell pathological changes,and promoting cell repair.At the same time,Lentinan also has anti retroviral activity.Therefore,Lentinan is a kind of anti influenza health food to be developed.
