This study evaluated the effect of Agaricus sylvaticus (sun mushroom) on biochemical tests plasma and morphology pancreas in an experimental model type I diabetes mellitus (DM1) induced by streptozotocin. One gram dry A. was homogenized mixed with chow. Male Wistar rats were allocated as follows: normoglycemic control that received commercial chow; group chow sylvaticus; diabetic sylvaticus. Weight, food, water consumption measured every two days. Blood glucose levels twice a week. After 30 days, animals euthanized blood collected for analysis cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, sugar, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), alkaline phosphatase, iron, transferrin, urea. The processed microscopic analysis. modulated GPT, urea to similar those found controls led compensatory hyperplasia islets Langerhans. is potentially beneficial 1 diabetes, it may also prevent damage.
