The primary goal of our study was to explore potential therapeutic avenues for managing intestinal mucositis (IM), a common and debilitating side effect of chemotherapeutic treatments for cancer.In our investigation, we focused on Lentinan (LT), a compound derived from Lentinus edodes, commonly known as shiitake mushroom. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of LT in mitigating IM in mouse models induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a chemotherapy drug known to cause severe gastrointestinal side effects.
