About this book|關於本書

This book presents a state-of-the-art report on recent advances concerning Ganoderma and where the field is going. Although some older work is also cited, the main focus is on advances made over the past 20 years in the pharmacology and clinical applications of Ganoderma.

Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi) has been used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries to maintain health and to treat diseases for more than two thousand years. Recently, its value has been demonstrated in preventing and treating certain diseases, such as tumors, liver disorders, renal injury, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, cerebral ischemia reperfusion, bronchitis etc.

In addition, laboratory and clinical studies have confirmed that the chemical components of Ganoderma, such as Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide peptides and triterpenes isolated from the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum, produce diverse pharmacological effects.

Ganoderma and its components play an important part in antioxidant stress, radical-scavenging, immunomodulation, and intracellular signaling regulation, and accordingly warrant further study.

This book systematically reviews the latest advances in our understanding of pharmacology and clinical applications of Ganoderma, and offers researchers and graduate students valuable new insights into the pharmacology and clinical applications of Ganoderma and related products.

由北京大學基礎醫學院林志彬教授和楊寶學教授共同主編的《Ganoderma and Health》(靈芝與健康,上下冊)一書已由Springer出版社於2019年11月正式出版發行。

該書上冊(Biology, Chemistry and Industry,生物學、化學和產業)系統介紹了靈芝的分類學、生物學特性、人工栽培、化學成分和產業的研究進展;下冊(Pharmacology and Clinical Application,藥理學和臨床應用)總結了靈芝及其提取物的藥理學研究進展和臨床應用。

靈芝作為一種傳統中藥,在我國已被用於養生保健和治療疾病兩千多年。近年來,靈芝人工培育技術促進了靈芝品種的優化、活性化合物的分離與鑒定,靈芝及其提取物相關產品的研發的發展。

實驗室和臨床研究也發現靈芝分離得到的靈芝多糖肽和三萜類化合物具有多種藥理作用。靈芝在治療腫瘤、肝臟疾病、腎損傷、高膽固醇血症、肥胖、腦缺血再灌注、支氣管炎等疾病方面的價值已得到證實。靈芝及其組分在抗氧化應激、自由基清除、免疫調節和細胞內信號調節中發揮重要作用。

本書將為靈芝學界的研究人員、產業界的研發人員和廣大消費者提供靈芝及其提取物相關產品的藥理學和臨床應用有價值的科學數據。
