Potentiation of intestinal immunity by micellary mushroom extracts.

Mushroom (shiitake) extracts were dispersed with lecithin micelles to
prepare superfine particles (0.05 to 0.2 mum in diameter) of beta-1,3-
glucan (micellary mushroom extracts). When mice were fed with these
micelles of beta-glucan (0.75 mg/day/mouse, smaller amounts of beta-
glucan), the number of lymphocytes yielded by the small intestine
increased by up to 40%. More interestingly, the ratio of
CD8alphabeta(+)TCRalphabeta(+) cells/CD8alphaalpha(+)TCRalphabeta(+)
cells increased prominently. In parallel with this deviation in the
distribution of lymphocyte subsets, tumor cytotoxicity against P815
cells and cytokine productions were also augmented. In other words,
phylogenetically developed lymphocytes (CD8alphabeta(+),
TCRalphabeta(+)) were much more effectively activated by the oral
administration of micellary beta-glucan. These results suggest that
smaller amounts of micellary beta-glucan might be useful for the
potentiation of intestinal immunity.

Mushrooms is what caused my last "bent over like a ball for hours and
hours" episode.......this happened previously to that also when I ate
mushrooms. So I now know the cause........and I will DEFINETLY never
again eat them.
