Ma Dong Chicken Leg Mushroom: A Promising Hypoglycemic Food for Diabetes Treatment

January 27, 2024

  Diabetes (How to Treat Diabetes) is caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors and is a common and prevalent disease. In China, there are over 1 million new patients with diabetes every year, making it the third largest "disease of death" after cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Due to the need for long-term medication in diabetic patients, prevention or treatment drugs must be highly efficient and low in toxicity. Therefore, the hypoglycemic food Ma Dong Chicken Leg Mushroom has become a star on the dining table and is highly sought after.

 


 

  【Ingredients】

  20g Ma Dong, 150g Chicken Leg Mushroom, 10ml Cooking Wine, 3g Salt, 2g MSG, 5g Ginger, 10g Spring Onion, 35ml Vegetable Oil.

  【Instructions】

  1. Remove impurities from Ma Dong and wash it thoroughly; wash the Chicken Leg Mushroom and cut it open.

  2. Wash the ginger and spring onion, slice the ginger, and cut the spring onion into sections.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat, immediately add the ginger and spring onion and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the Chicken Leg Mushroom and Ma Dong and stir-fry until cooked. Add salt, MSG, and cooking wine, and stir until well seasoned. Serve.

  【Benefits】

  Chicken Leg Mushroom is neutral in nature and has a sweet and smooth taste. It belongs to the spleen and stomach meridians. It contains anti-cancer active substances and effective ingredients for treating diabetes. Long-term consumption has a good effect on reducing blood glucose levels and treating diabetes, especially for treating ulcers.

  Ma Dong has the functions of promoting saliva production, moisturizing dryness, reducing stress and depression, and strengthening cardiovascular function. It can improve energy and vitality, making the complexion look healthier. It is suitable for diseases with symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat, dry cough, and deficiency of the pulse. However, it should not be used for diseases caused by spleen deficiency and dysfunction, such as water dampness, cold dampness, turbid phlegm, and obvious qi deficiency.

  【Hypoglycemic Substances in Chicken Leg Mushroom】

  According to Aston University in the UK, when given a certain proportion of Chicken Leg Mushroom, the blood sugar of experimental mice decreased significantly after 1.5 hours. However, the location of the "hypoglycemic treasure trove" in Chicken Leg Mushroom and whether it can be efficiently extracted has always been a challenge in the field of edible mushroom research. Four years ago, the Edible Mushroom Research Institute of Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences carried out the research on "Medicinal Fungi and Their Active Factors". They were the first to "mine" Chicken Leg Mushroom. Through multiple sedimentation processes, comparing different water extracts, and conducting animal experiments, researchers found that two components in Chicken Leg Mushroom significantly reduced the high blood sugar induced by uracil in mice, identified the effective part of Chicken Leg Mushroom for lowering blood sugar, and used modern chemical and spectral techniques to determine the chemical structure of the hypoglycemic active factor. By optimizing the extraction process, establishing effective methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of hypoglycemic components, Shanghai mushroom scientists have developed a set of optimal conditions for extracting hypoglycemic substances from Chicken Leg Mushroom and obtained the first domestically and internationally recognized health care product based on Chicken Leg Mushroom as the main ingredient.

  After being identified by national testing institutions, the hypoglycemic component extract of Chicken Leg Mushroom has undergone a series of safety experiments, efficacy studies, toxicological tests, and human trials. It has obtained the health product certificate issued by the National Food and Drug Administration. Zhang Jinsong, the leader of the research group and deputy director of the Edible Mushroom Research Institute of Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters that taking the hypoglycemic component of Chicken Leg Mushroom has poor therapeutic effects for type 1 diabetes patients who need insulin injections. However, for patients with high blood sugar, even up to the critical point of diabetes, continuous consumption for 1 to 3 months can significantly lower blood sugar levels.
