Mean +SEM (standard errors of the mean) change in plasma total antioxidant power (as the ferric reducing ability of plasma [FRAP] value) at 90 minutes postingestion of placebo (vertical lines), 1.1 g of G. lucidum extract (horizontal lines), and 3.3 g of G. lucidum extract (diagonal lines) in a human intervention trial (n = 10). A significant (*p < .05) increase in plasma FRAP was seen after G. lucidum administration compared with placebo intake, indicating an absorption of antioxidant compounds into plasma.
