Kutheni abantu besaluphala?Ukunyuka kwama-radicals asimahla sesona sizathu siphambili sokuguga.I-radicals yamahhala yinto abantu ababiza ngayo inkunkuma eveliswa ngamaseli ngexesha lenkqubo ye-metabolic, yenze i-lipid peroxides kwi-biofilms, ebangela utshintsho kwisakhiwo seseli kunye nomsebenzi, okukhokelela kumonakalo kwizitho kunye nezicubu.Ukuguga, i-tumor, isifo se-cardiovascular disease, ukudumba kunye nezifo ezizimelayo zonke zihambelana ne-lipid peroxidation kunye nokuveliswa kwe-radical yamahhala.Iimvavanyo zibonise ukubaI-Ganoderma lucidumi-antioxidant kwaye ineempembelelo zokutshabalalisa ngokukhululekileyo.Kuvavanyo lweempuku, kuye kwaqinisekiswa ukuba i-Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide inokunciphisa ukuveliswa kweeradicals zasimahla kwi-macrophages ye-mouse ye-peritoneal, i-scavenge i-oxygen esebenzayo yama-radicals, inqanda i-lipid peroxidation, iphucula izinga lokusinda kweeseli kwaye idlale indima echasene nokuguga.[Isicatshulwa salo mhlathi sikhethwe "kwiiNtetho ezimalunga neLingzhi ezondisa uBomi" ebhalwe nguWang Shoudong, uJiang Fan kunye noWang Xiaoyun]

Iimvavanyo ezininzi ziye zaqinisekisa ukubaReishi mushroominokukhawulezisa ukususwa kwee-radicals zamahhala, ukuphucula ugxininiso kunye nomsebenzi wee-enzymes ezahlukeneyo ze-antioxidant emzimbeni kunye nokuphucula ukungalingani phakathi kwe "oxidation" kunye "ne-antioxidation" nokuba kwimeko ephilileyo okanye enesifo.Esi siphumo asichazi nje kuphela ukuba kutheni i-Ganoderma lucidum inokwenza izicubu kunye namalungu abe mancinci kodwa kwanokuba kutheni amabala ebudala aya kuba khaphukhaphu okanye anyamalale kwaye kutheni iinwele ezimhlophe zokuqala ziya kukhula zibe mnyama kwakhona emva kokutya.Lingzhiixesha elithile.[Isicatshulwa kulo mhlathi sikhethwe kwi "Lingzhi, Buchule ngaphaya kweNkcazo" nguWu Tingyao, P206]
