Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to determine inhibitory activities against lipase (anti-obesity property) as well as a-amylase and a-glucosidase (anti-diabetic property) of fifteen Thai local mushroom extracts including Kai-khao (Russula sp.), Kai-kiew (Russula sp.), Nha-lae (Russula sp.), Sa-med (Boletus sp.), E-tun (Russula aff. sp.), Ra-ngok-khao (Amanita aff. sp.), Kor-kar-dang (Russula sp.), Por-nung (Astraeus sp.), Por-fai (Astraeus sp.), Ra-ngok-luang (Amanita sp.), Kor-kar-khao (Russula sp.), Nam-mak (Macowanites sp.), Koh-noi (Russula aff. sp.), Din-khao (Russula sp.) and Khao-pang (Russula sp.) in Amnat-Charoen province, Thailand. All mushrooms were extracted using ddH2O (20 mg/mL) in a 50°C water bath shaker for 8 hrs. The enzyme inhibitory activities were performed using a colorimetric microplate assay. The results showed that anti-lipase activities of mushroom extracts (4 mg/mL) were in the range of 12-77% inhibition. Din-khao mushroom exhibited the highest inhibition, while Por-fai and Por-nung mushrooms exhibited the lowest. The anti-a-glucosidase activities of mushroom extracts (5 mg/mL) were in the range of 10-79% inhibition. Sa-med mushroom exhibited the highest inhibition, while Kor-kar-dang mushroom exhibited the lowest. However, the inhibition of a-amylase could not be detected in this study. These findings are useful for potential health promotion for Thai local mushroom consumption in controlling obesity and diabetes through key enzymes inhibition.
