<i>Grifola frondosa</i> (Maitake) Extract Reduces Fat Accumulation and Improves Health Span in <i>C. elegans</i> through the <i>DAF-16/FOXO</i> and <i>SKN-1/NRF2</i> Signalling Pathways

In recent years, food ingredients rich in bioactive compounds have emerged as candidates to prevent excess adiposity and other metabolic complications characteristic of obesity, such as low-grade inflammation and oxidative status. Among them, fungi have gained popularity for their high polysaccharid...
