note = {Edible mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus, P.o.), possess a high nutritional value and contain various bioactive compounds, including β-glucans, ergosterol, and lovastatin. These components have been associated with potential health-promoting effects, particularly cholesterol-lowering properties. However, most of the existing evidence stems from animal models and in vitro studies, while data from well-designed human intervention studies is still limited.
In this context, two randomized controlled human intervention studies were conducted as part of this dissertation. Study 1 investigated whether fortifying a meal with β-glucan-rich oyster mushroom powder could reduce the ad libitum energy intake with a subsequent meal in adults with overweight or obesity. In addition, gastric emptying, selected gastrointestinal hormones (PYY, CCK), and SCFA concentrations were analyzed to explore potential mechanisms of action. Study 2 examined whether the daily consumption of a drinking granule with or without oyster mushroom powder over four weeks could reduce LDL-C levels in adults with moderately elevated LDL-C levels, and assessed effects on other blood lipids and apolipoproteins. Furthermore, this study aimed to explore underlying mechanisms of action related to cholesterol absorption, synthesis and cholesterol metabolism.
The results showed that fortifying a meal with oyster mushroom powder did not reduce ad libitum energy intake with a subsequent meal, although gastric emptying was delayed. Similarly, contrary to expectations the regular intake of the oyster mushroom powder did not lower LDL-C levels or affect other lipid parameters. However, a sex-specific treatment effect was observed for surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption, suggesting possible differential responses between men and women, with reductions in these markers of observed particularly in female participants. These findings suggest that nutritional interventions with oyster mushrooms may hold potential in the prevention or management of cardiometabolic diseases, despite the absence of treatment effects on energy intake and LDL-C levels. Future research should focus on well designed human intervention studies, investigating both whole edible mushrooms and isolated bioactive compounds, to better understand their physiological effects and mechanisms of action.},
