Antitumor effect of hot water extracted LEM obtained from shiitake mycelium culture 

　・Report I: Inhibitory effect on AH60C transplanted tumors
Toyama University

This study investigated the effect of orally administered LEM on transplanted tumor volume in rats with ascites hematoma cells AH60C transplanted into their backs, and results showed that LEM inhibits increases in volume and that this inhibitory effect was more significant when LEM was administered after the tumor volume had increased rather than at the same time as the transplant.
