Abstract
Mushrooms are edible fungi which have been used as an anti-diabetic drug since ancient time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and antidiabetic effects of methanol extracts, using L6 cell line. No cytotoxicity effects were observed in treated cells up to 6.25mg/ml of Pleurotus eous methanol extract as measured with MTT assay. The results showed that the extract did not confer any cytotoxicity and extract showed better glucose uptake potential. The glucose utilisation in L6 cell lines showed that the methanol extract of Pleurotus eous mushroom were found to be prominent over control.
