Diet (refined carbs, in particular) influences many deleterious, age-related, chronic changes in human health. Some of those signs of changes can be hypertension, and metabolic disturbances such as glucose metabolism (insulin resistance).  This study showed that when rats ingested a maitake mushroom extract, blood pressured was significantly lower compared to the control group. Also reported was enhanced insulin sensitivity, and lower circulating levels of a cytokine associated with inflammation – TNF-α.
