초록

국내에서 재배된 영지의 안전성을 검토하기 위하여 크게 급성 독성 실험과 아급성 독성 실험으로 나누어 실험하여본 결과, 급성 독성 실험에서는 투여 가능한 최대 투여량(5,000 mg/kg)에서 암, 수 모두에서 치사 예는 관찰할 수 없었으며, 아급성 독성 실험에서는 체중 측정, 혈액학적 검사, 장기 중량, 장기 조직의 병리학적 조직 검사, 뇨 검사를 실시하여 본 바, 대조군과 비교할만한 통계학적 유의차를 발견할 수 없었다.

To examine safety of Ganoderma lucidum, it was extracted with hot water (Fraction A). After the extract was dialyzed and freeze-dried, a polysaccharide fraction (Fraction B) was obtained and examined for acute and subacute toxicity. In the acute toxicity tests of Fr. A and Fr. B on mice, both agents did not show any serious and lethal effects. The results showed that 50% lethal doses were higher than 5,000 mg/kg. The experiments of oral administration of Fr. A (5,000 mg/kg) to mice for 30 days showed that there were no changes in body weight, hematological features and organ weight.
