The Preliminary Study Of The Truffle Health Effects

Truffles belong to the Ascomycota (Ascomycota), disk Hymenomycetes(Pezizomycetes), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum head (Pezizales)，truffleDivision (Tuberaceae).It is a medicinal and edible fungi.It is mainlydistributed France, Italy, Spain and other countries , and it is mainlylocated in the southeast and the northwest region of Sichuan and Yunnanprovinces in China. In other countries, they have a long history of eatingtruffles; truffle is one of the three dishes in France. Studies have shownthat the truffles have a variety of active compounds, such as theandrostenol.It’s chemical structure is like the chemical structure ofhuman sex hormone, It has the role of regulating the female menstrual cycle;truffle polysaccharides has the effect of inhibiting tumor cell growthand regulate the immune capacity role. Now, there are many reports of thetaxonomic characteristics of truffles, active ingredient separation andidentification, but there are no reportes of the truffle health effectsresearch.In this paper, we use the suspension of truffle fruiting body powderfed mice, experimental results show that the swimming time of theexperimental groups is longer than the control group of mice swimmingtime，we can know that the truffles can significantly improve the mouseanti-fatigue effectsThe atmospheric oxygen tolerance experiments and sodium nitrite acutepoisoning experiment shown that the survival time of the experimentalgroups is longer than the survival time of control group mice. We can seethe truffles can improve the body hypoxia tolerance.In this paper, sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep experiment showthat the sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep time of the experimentalgroups mice close to the sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep time of thecontrol group mice , truffle has no sedative, hypnotic role. But we need to do other research confirmed the result by other experimental methods.In this paper, we can know that the length of the experiment groupswas significantly greater than the length of the control group mice; itis show that the truffles can enhance the activity of the stomach, helpdigestion and absorption, and promote metabolis.In this paper, we conducted follow-up survey on the 50 women withprimary dysmenorrhea, they taking truffle suspension befor and duringmenstruation.we can know that the truffle can effectively reducemenstrual painand improve physical state.In this paper, we use the suspension of truffle fruiting body powderfed mice, experimental results show that compared the control group theindicators of experimental mice red blood cells, plateles and hemoglobinwere improved.We also use the mycelia of Cordyceps militaris fed mice, the resultshow that the mycelia of Cordyceps militaris can prolong the sodiumpentobarbital-induced sleep time in mice, this consistent with theliterature.
