Abstract in brief

The fruit body of Grifola frondosa (maitake) contains substances with antidiabetic properties, proven by blood glucose reduction in diabetic mice after oral administration.
The study found that both ether-ethanol soluble (ES) and specific hot water-soluble (WS) fractions, especially WS50 ethanol float X, exhibited blood sugar-lowering effects, indicating that the active compounds are in these fractions.
The active antidiabetic components appear to include lipids in the ES fraction and peptidoglycan structures in the X fraction, suggesting multiple types of bioactive substances in maitake contribute to its hypoglycemic activity.]
