ABSTRACT

Alcohol misuse often causes hangover, such as cognitive impairment, tiredness, thirst, headache, nausea, muscle pain and increased risk for cancer appears to be rising to the extent of a prime social and health problems in the korea. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) are known as the key enzymes for the degradation of alcohol. Basidiomycota is a medicinal mushroom used in East Asia to prevent disease such as gastroenteric dysfunction, diarrhea, and cancers. Our results suggest that the mixed fermentation products of the basidiomycetes increased alcohol metabolizing ADH and ALDH activities in vitro and also indicate that fermentation products can be used to the relief of hangover, a drink additive and the protection of liver injury.
