Abstract:
Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum, Lingzhi) has a wide range of hepatoprotective effects. Its bioactive substances include triterpenoids, polysaccharides, sterols, steroids, peptides, and other bioactive ingredients. Based on our research and other references, this chapter discusses the hepatoprotective effects of G. lucidum in different liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma, nonalcoholic liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis B, inflammation, fibrosis, and toxicant-induced liver injury.
