Published in 2023 at "Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology"

DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23301

Abstract: This study investigates the therapeutic effect and the underlying mechanisms of ergothioneine (EGT) on the testicular damage caused by varicocele (VC) in vivo, in vitro, and in silico. This preclinical study combines a series of… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00253-025-13476-4

Abstract: Ergothioneine (EGT) is a derivative of the amino acid L-histidine that is well known for its strong antioxidant properties. Recent studies on the functional characterization of EGT in both in vivo and in vitro systems… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Journal of agricultural and food chemistry"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.1c07541

Abstract: l-Ergothioneine (EGT) is a strong antioxidant used in industry, and it is commonly extracted from mushrooms; however, its production is limited. As an alternative, we developed metabolically engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum with reinforced sulfur assimilation and… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Journal of food science"

DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15982

Abstract: The well-acknowledged sulfur-containing amino acid ergothioneine (EGT), which is usually perceived to be produced from fungi, cyanobacteria, and mushrooms, has been increasingly demonstrated as a diet-derived antioxidant with therapeutic potential. However, little is known regarding… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Antioxidants"

DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020185

Abstract: Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulfur-containing amino acid analog that is biosynthesized in fungi and bacteria, accumulated in plants, and ingested by humans where it is concentrated in tissues under oxidative stress. While the physiological function… read more here.
