영지버섯 not only aids in anti-tumor activities but also shows promise in preventing stress-induced hair loss. 5 월 2024 Ohsang Kwon 교수와 서울 대학교 의과 대학 동료가 Iscience에 출판 한 연구, 피부과 부서, indicated that 영지버섯 extract can prevent premature aging of hair follicles caused by stress, mitigating the risk of hair thinning or baldness.
When faced with overwhelming stress, the body releases a cascade of hormones to reallocate energy resources and address immediate threats. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), secreted by the hypothalamus, is a primary stress hormone that not only mobilizes other hormones but also reaches hair follicles, accelerating their aging and impairing hair growth.
Hair growth requires the coordinated effort of various cell types within the hair follicle. Key players include dermal papilla cells (DPCs) that receive and transmit hair growth signals, outer root sheath cells (ORSCs) that surround the hair root and, together with hair follicle stem cells, promote the transition from the resting to the growth phase, and hair matrix cells that are responsible for producing new hair.

Experiment 1: 영지버섯 Inhibits Hair Follicle Aging.
In this in vitro study, three types of cells were isolated from scalp tissue donated by five adults. Results showed that when dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and outer root sheath cells (ORSCs) were treated with CRH for 48 hours, there was a significant increase in senescent cells (cells expressing the senescence marker SA-β-Gal). However, when Ganoderma lucidum (GL) extract was added simultaneously, the number of senescent cells remained at normal levels.
The experiment results demonstrate that 영지버섯 (GL) extract effectively inhibits CRH-induced senescence in hair follicles.
Experiment 2: 영지버섯 protects hair follicle vitality.
Results showed that CRH inhibited the differentiation ability of hair papilla (as indicated by decreased alkaline phosphatase, ALP, expression) and reduced the proliferation of hair matrix cells (as indicated by decreased Ki-67 expression). However, co-treatment with 영지버섯 (GL) extract mitigated these effects (수치 2), suggesting that 영지버섯 extract enhances hair follicle resistance to stress and preserves hair follicle vitality.
영지버섯 (GL) extract can protect hair follicle vitality under the threat of CRH.
Experiment 3: 영지버섯 maintains hair growth vitality.
To further simulate hair growth in vitro, dermal papilla cells were co-cultured with outer root sheath cells to form elongated two-cell assemblages (TCAs). The lengths of TCAs were compared after 5 days of treatment with CRH in the presence or absence of 영지버섯 (GL) 발췌. The results demonstrated that GL extract could indeed counteract the inhibitory effect of CRH and maintain the vitality of hair growth.
영지버섯 (GL) extract can alleviate the inhibitory effects of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) on hair growth vitality.
The mechanism by which Ganoderm lucidum protects hair follicles involves the elimination of free radicals and induction of cell apoptosis.
왜 그럴 수 있지? Ganoderm lucidum (GL) extract counteract follicular aging induced by stress? According to the analysis of this study, CRH promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) free radicals, which in turn activate aging-related genes (p16, p21), and can even increase the activity of molecules associated with “pro-apoptosis” (JNK, c-jun, Erk1/2, and p38). GL can mitigate the impact of corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH) by scavenging ROS free radicals and inhibiting the activation of pro-apoptotic molecules.

The active ingredient of Ganoderma lucidum that protects hair follicles: Ganoderma lucidum triterpenes
This study has revealed the potential of 영지버섯 in protecting hair-follicle growth. But what exactly is the 영지버섯 with such a function? Further investigation based on the information provided in this report revealed that the영지버섯 (GL) extract used in the experiment was an ethyl acetate fraction further extracted from an ethanol extract of 영지버섯 자실체, with ganoderic acid A as its marker compound.
The ethanol extract of 영지버섯 fruiting bodies is rich in 영지버섯 트리테르펜. In other words, the active ingredient responsible for protecting hair follicles against stress in the aforementioned experiment originated from these triterpenes. 재미있게, when 영지버섯 triterpenes encounter senescent cancer cells, they eliminate them efficiently, as demonstrated in another study titled “Senolytic Effect of 영지버섯 Triterpenoids on HCC Cells.”
It’s clear that triterpenes from 영지버섯 are not indiscriminate. 대신에, they exhibit selectivity, protecting normal cells while eliminating abnormal ones. The remarkable properties of 영지버섯 triterpenes are indeed intriguing.
