Abstract- The Medical Effects of Edible Mushroom Extract on Aflatoxin B1

Mushroom considered as an important food it has healthy and economic benefits. We investigate the medical effects of edible mushroom extracts on aflatoxin B1 for the kidney, liver and SOD enzymes. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 120-150 g were divided into six groups (6 rats/group) and housed in stainless steel cages housed in a temperature-controlled (23 ± 1 °C ) and artificially illuminated (12 hr dark/light cycle) room free from any source of chemical contamination.
