The effect of polysaccharide extract isolated from Ganoderma lucidum (Gl-PS) on rat cortical neuronal cultures exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was studied in vitro. Gl-PS (1, 10, 100 microg/ml) increased neuron viability following H/R as measured by the inhibition of MTT reduction. Gl-PS also significantly reduced malondialdehyde content and reactive oxygen species production and increased the manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) activity; furthermore, the translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B induced by H/R was blocked. These findings suggest that Gl-PS might be useful in treating H/R-induced oxidative stress and Mn-SOD might play a critical role in the neuroprotective effect of Gl-PS against H/R injury.

D002534 Hypoxia, Brain A reduction in brain oxygen supply due to ANOXEMIA (a reduced amount of oxygen being carried in the blood by HEMOGLOBIN), or to a restriction of the blood supply to the brain, or both. Severe hypoxia is referred to as anoxia and is a relatively common cause of injury to the central nervous system. Prolonged brain anoxia may lead to BRAIN DEATH or a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE. Histologically, this condition is characterized by neuronal loss which is most prominent in the HIPPOCAMPUS; GLOBUS PALLIDUS; CEREBELLUM; and inferior olives.
