Auricularia auricula is a precious medicinal material. Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, recorded in his book that Auricularia auricula is "sweet and flat in nature, mainly used for benefiting qi and not hunger". Modern medical workers have made new discoveries about the medicinal value of auricularia auricula, and believe that auricularia auricula also has the effects of clearing away lung heat, moistening body fluids, removing blood stasis and promoting tissue regeneration. Auricularia auricula also contains anticancer substances, which is an anticancer medicated diet. Auricularia auricula can also promote human blood circulation and treat coronary heart disease.
According to the expert's determination, every hundred grams of auricularia auricula contains protein10.6g, fat/kloc-0.2g, carbohydrate 65.5g, crude fiber 7.0g, calcium 357mg, phosphorus 20 1 mg and iron185mg. It also contains vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, carotene, nicotinic acid and other vitamins, inorganic salts, phospholipids and phytosterols. The iron content of auricularia auricula is 20 times that of celery and 7 times that of pig liver, so it is a very good natural blood-enriching food. The calcium content is 7 times that of crucian carp.
pharmacological action
1, hypoglycemic effect Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can prevent and treat hyperglycemia in alloxan diabetic mice, improve the glucose tolerance and tolerance curve of experimental mice, and reduce the drinking water of diabetic mice.
2. Hypolipidemic effect Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can obviously reduce the contents of serum free cholesterol, cholesterol lipid, triacylglycerol and 9- lipoprotein in hyperlipidemia rats, and reduce the formation of hypercholesterolemia in mice caused by high cholesterol.
3. Inhibition of platelet aggregation Adenosine and several related water-soluble low molecular substances can obviously prolong the time of inhibition of platelet aggregation by prothrombin concentration, which proves that adenosine is a powerful platelet aggregation inhibitor. It can be completely absorbed by the small intestine, but the active substance does not affect the synthesis of thromboxane by [14C] arachidonic acid, indicating that the substance does not inhibit the function of platelet cyclooxygenase.
4. Antithrombotic Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can obviously prolong the formation time of specific thrombus and fibrin thrombus in rabbits, shorten the length of thrombus, reduce the wet and dry weight of thrombus, reduce the number of platelets, reduce the adhesion rate of platelets and blood viscosity, obviously shorten the euglobulin lysis time of guinea pigs, reduce the content of plasma fibrinogen and improve the activity of fibrinolytic enzyme, which has obvious antithrombotic effect.
5, improve the immune function of the body Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can obviously promote the immune function of the body, including improving the spleen index, semi-hemolysis value and rosette formation rate, promoting macrophage phagocytosis and lymphocyte transformation rate, improving the cellular immunity and humoral immunity of the body, and has significant anti-tumor activity.
6. Anti-aging effect Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can reduce the brown finger content in myocardial blood tissue of mice, increase the activity of superoxide dismutase in brain and liver, and inhibit the activity of monoamine oxidase B (HA0-B) in isolated brain of mice, suggesting that Auricularia auricula polysaccharide has anti-aging activity.
7. Auricularia auricula polysaccharide has a protective effect on tissue injury, which can obviously enhance the metabolism of nucleic acid and protein, increase the content of liver microsomes, promote the biosynthesis of serum proteins, enhance the body's disease resistance and protect the body from injury.
8. Improving myocardial hypoxia Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can prolong the survival time and improve the survival rate of rats compared with normal pressure hypoxia tolerance test, suggesting that Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can improve the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand in ischemic myocardium.
9. Anti-ulcer effect Auricularia auricula polysaccharide can obviously inhibit the formation of stress ulcer in rats and promote the healing of acetic acid gastric ulcer.
10, anti-radiation effect Auricularia auricula polysaccharide has better anti-radiation effect than Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide, and can resist leukopenia caused by cyclophosphamide.
The latest research found that auricularia auricula has the function of dissolving stones in the body. This is mainly because the fermentation factors and plant alkaloids contained in Auricularia auricula can effectively promote the secretion of various glands in digestive tract and urinary tract, catalyze stones in vivo, lubricate pipes and promote the discharge of stones. In addition, the various mineral elements contained in Auricularia auricula can make various stones in the body react chemically, peel off, disintegrate, peel off and contract continuously, and then be discharged from the body through pipes. Fresh auricularia auricula contains toxins and cannot be eaten. (ancient and modern supplements: you can't eat too much fresh, dried fungus is better. ) Auricularia auricula has the function of promoting blood circulation and anticoagulation, and people with hemorrhagic diseases should not eat it. Pregnant women should not eat more. In addition: Auricularia auricula is rich in nutrition, but if it is not soaked properly, it will be hard and small, not much and not delicious. If soaked in boiled rice soup, the black fungus will be fat, tender and delicious.
