Abstract

Ljudi su gljive stoljećima cijenili kao hranu i kao zdravu dopunu prehrani. Modernim trendovima zdrave prehrane popularnost jestivih gljiva eksponencijalno raste. Gljive su nutritivno, ekonomski i biotehnološki vrijedna skupina organizama. Na temelju tradicionalnih i narodnih lijekova, iz brojnih gljiva izolirani su spojevi za razvoj mnogo vrsta lijekova. Mogu se koristiti u farmaceutskoj industriji kao antioksidansi, antikancerogeni i imunomodulacijski agensi. Bogate su proteinima, prehrambenim vlaknima, esencijalnim aminokiselinama, mineralima i mnogim bioaktivnim tvarima, osobito onim povezanim s ljudskim imunološkim sustavom. Bioaktivni spojevi imaju neizravne učinke u liječenju mnogobrojnih oboljenja, blagotvorno djelujući na imunološki sustav. Gljive sadrže raznovrsne imunoregulatorne spojeve poput terpena i terpenoida, lektina, gljivične imunoregulatorne proteine i polisaharide.

Abstract (english)

People have valued mushrooms for centuries as a food and as a healthy dietary supplement. With modern trends in healthy eating, the popularity of edible mushrooms is growing exponentially. Fungi are a nutritionally, economically and biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Based on traditional and folk remedies, many types of medicines have been developed from numerous mushrooms. They can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as antioxidants, anticancer and immunomodulatory agents. They are rich in protein, dietary fiber, essential amino acids, minerals and many bioactive substances, especially those related to the human immune system. Bioactive compounds have indirect effects in the treatment of many diseases, having a beneficial effect on the immune system. Fungi contain a variety of immunoregulatory compounds such as terpenes and terpenoids, lectin, fungal immunoregulatory proteins, and polysaccharides.
