In the insect system, asc-C9 is generated and accumulated under low temperature conditions, can promote mitochondrial biosynthesis and uncoupling respiration, increase energy metabolism rate and antioxidant defense ability, and exhibit metabolic characteristics similar to mammalian brown fat activation, which suggests that asc-C9 has a "metabolic activation type" anti-aging mechanism. In the mammalian model, through detection of the content of asc-C9 in tissues of mice of different ages, it is found that the endogenous level significantly decreases with age, indicating that asc-C9 is closely related to the aging process of the body; after exogenous injection of asc-C9, the expressions of UCP1 and PGC-1a, the markers of browning of subcutaneous adipose tissue of mice, are significantly up-regulated, and the genes related to fat metabolism, mitochondrial function and antioxidant pathways (such as PPARa, CPT1A, SIRT1, FOXO, SOD, GPX, CAT, etc.) also show an increasing trend, which indicates that asc-C9 can promote fat browning, improve metabolic level and activate multiple anti-aging signaling pathways. In the 15-month-old old mice, the asc-C9 is injected into the abdominal cavity, and the blood indexes such as red blood cell variation coefficient (RDW-CV), neutrophil percentage (NEU), lymphocyte percentage (LYM), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), red blood cell number (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT) are closer to those of 8-10-week-old mice, which indicates that asc-C9 can realize the rejuvenation of the blood system from the multiple dimensions of hematopoietic homeostasis, immune balance and inflammation regulation, has good anti-aging potential, and can be widely applied to the prevention and intervention of aging-related diseases.

[0018] Experimental Example Experimental Example 1: Effect of ascaroside asc-C9 on body temperature and survival rate of Monochamus alternatus larvae (1) Effect of asc-C9 on body temperature Monochamus alternatus larvae that had just completed diapause after overwintering were collected from the wild, injected with 900 nM asc-C9, and then placed in a -10°C constant temperature incubator for 10 min to adapt, and then the body temperature was measured. Subsequently, the larvae were transferred to 10°C, 15°C, 20°C and 25°C constant temperature incubators, respectively, and the body temperature was measured after 10 min of adaptation at each gradient. The results are shown in Figure 1 a to Figure 1 b, wherein, Figure 1 a is a temperature difference diagram of the control group and the C9 group (i.e., ascaroside asc-C9 treatment, the same below) at -10°C, Figure 1 b is a temperature difference diagram of the control group and the C9 group at different environmental temperatures; From Figure 1 a and Figure 1 b, it can be seen that the body temperature of the larvae after injection of asc-C9 was significantly higher than that of the control group in each experimental temperature zone.

[0019] (2) Effect of asc-C9 on survival rate In the survival rate experiment, the larvae were first placed in a -10°C constant temperature incubator for 17 h 30 min, and then placed in a 25°C constant temperature incubator (L:D=12:12 h) for 1 d. The larvae were stimulated with a needle, and if there was no obvious writhing or curling of the mandible or body, they were evaluated as dead. The results are shown in Figure 1 c; From Figure 1 c, it can be seen that the survival rate of the control group larvae was significantly lower than that of the asc-C9 treatment group (i.e., the C9 group).

[0020] Experimental Example 2: Effect of asc-C9 on fat metabolism of Monochamus alternatus larvae The fat droplet state, triglyceride (TAG) and free fatty acid (FFA) of the dissected fat of the larvae in Experimental Example 1 (the larvae were dissected, and the head, epidermis, intestine, digestive tract, etc. were removed, and the fat was collected for determination) were determined; the specific determination method is as follows: Hematoxylin and eosin staining: the fat of the larvae was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature overnight, washed with 75% ethanol for multiple times, dehydrated with 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% and 100% ethanol, and the tissue fat was sequentially placed in 50% / 50% ethanol / dimethylbenzene mixture, dimethylbenzene, dimethylbenzene I (another new dimethylbenzene solution), dimethylbenzene II (another new dimethylbenzene solution) for 15 min each time, until the tissue was transparent and translucent amber, and then sequentially immersed in 50% / 50% dimethylbenzene / paraffin, paraffin (I), paraffin (II), and then the tissue was cut into 5m thin sections after being fixed with paraffin, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and then sealed with neutral resin, and observed and imaged analyzed using the CaseViewer system (version 2.3), and the results are shown in Figure 2 ; TAG determination: 100 μL PBST buffer was added to the fat body of the longicorn beetle larvae, and then homogenized, incubated in a 70°C water bath for 5 min, 20 μL of the sample containing precipitates after heat treatment was taken, 20 μL Triglyceride Reagent was added and mixed well, and then incubated in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 30 min, centrifuged at 13000g for 3 min, 30 μL supernatant was taken to a UV transparent 96-well plate, 100 μL Free Glycerol Reagent was added and mixed well, and then incubated in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 5 min, and finally the absorbance value at 540 nm wavelength was detected by an enzyme marker, and the results are shown in Figure 3 b; FFA determination: 5 μL of methyl tridecanoate was added to the larval fat body as an internal control, followed by 1 mL of a 2% H₂SO₄ / 98% Methanol mixture. The mixture was thoroughly homogenized and incubated in an 80℃ metal bath for 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, 1.5 mL of double-distilled water and 0.3 mL of n-hexane were added. The fatty acid methyl ester was extracted to the n-hexane layer by shaking. The sample was centrifuged at 5000 g for 10 min, and the upper organic phase was collected. GC-MS analysis was performed using an Agilent Technologies 6890N GC-5973N mass spectrometer with an HP-5MS capillary column (60 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm, J&W Scientific, Folsom, CA). The GC-MS transfer line temperature was 280℃, the ion source temperature was 230℃, the quadrupole temperature was 50℃, the component analysis electron energy was 70 eV, the scan range was 35–400 amu, the solvent delay was 3 min, and the column temperature program was 50℃. The temperature was increased to 200℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min for 0.5 min, then to 240℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, then to 250℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min, held for 10 min, and finally increased to 280℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, held for 3 min. The fatty acid compounds were identified by comparing their retention times with those of the internal reference compounds and by alignment with the NIST02 mass spectrometry library (Rev. D.04.00; Agilent Technologies). The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in c; Measurements revealed that after injection of asc-C9, lipid droplets in the fat of longhorn beetle larvae became smaller, and the fat became fragmented. Figure 2 Furthermore, after injection of asc-C9, the TAG and FFA contents of larvae decreased significantly, and lipid metabolism accelerated. Figure 3 (b and 3c) The above results indicate that asc-C9 promotes lipid metabolism and decomposition in the larvae of the pine sawyer beetle.

[0021] Experiment Example 3: Effect of asc-C9 on uncoupling respiration in larvae of the pine sawyer beetle The mitochondrial inner membrane transport protein-uncoupling protein (UCP1) can mediate mitochondrial uncoupling thermogenesis, converting the hydrogen potential energy accumulated in the electron transport chain into internal energy, and finally releasing the energy as heat. During thermogenesis of fat, energy consumption increases. Therefore, this invention explores the effect of asc-C9 on uncoupling respiration by observing fat electron microscopy and detecting mitochondrial number, larval respiratory metabolism, and larval ATP changes. Specifically, this is achieved through the following method: Fat electron microscope: fresh fat body (cut open the larvae, remove the head, epidermis, intestine, digestive tract, etc., collect fat for determination) was soaked in 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution at 4℃ for 2 days, then washed with PBS solution for 15 min, repeated 3 times, then fixed with 1% osmium acid, washed after 2h, dehydrated with 30%, 50% ethanol for 15 min, then transferred to saturated uranyl acetate solution prepared with 70% ethanol, soaked at 4℃ in the dark for 12h, then dehydrated with 80%, 90%, 100% ethanol solution for 15 min, then transferred to 100% acetone for 20 min, 50% acetone / 50% paraffin I embedding agent (Kanglang Biology, KL130888-50) for 1h, paraffin II (new paraffin) 33% / acetone 67% embedding agent for 3h, paraffin III (new paraffin) 100% embedding agent for 5h, then heated at 65℃ for polymerization, and then placed for 1-2d, then sliced with an ultramicrotome, and then placed at 65℃ for 1-2d (baking slices, in order to make the tissue fully adhere to the glass slide), then the ultrathin sections were dyed with lead citrate hematoxylin and eosin, and then observed under an electron microscope, and the results are shown in Figure 4 ; Mitochondrial number: the mitochondrial DNA copy number was evaluated by qPCR using primers for COXII and DNA of standardized RpL32 as a template, and the results are shown in Figure 5 ; Determination of carbon dioxide production: the cerambycid larvae were placed in an insect respiratory metabolism measurement system (Beijing Yiketaisheng Ecological Technology Co., Ltd.) for oxygen consumption determination, and the results are shown in Figure 6 ; Determination of ATP: the larval fat was ground in a glass tube with mitochondrial isolation buffer (210mM d-mannitol, 70mM sucrose, 5mM HEPES, 1mM EGTA and 0.5% (w / v) fatty acid-free BSA, pH 7.2), then centrifuged at 4℃, 800g for 10 min, then the supernatant was taken and centrifuged at 4℃, 8000g for 10 min, and then the relative content of ATP was determined by Bradford method, and the results are shown in Figure 7 ; Meanwhile, from the results of the research on the regulation of fat metabolism that have been reported, the corresponding heat production functional genes in the fat metabolism related pathway were screened, the sequences of close relatives were downloaded from NCBI, and PGC1 and UCP4 were found in M. alternatus by Blast comparison, and the relative expression was detected at the gene level by RT-qPCR technology, and the results are shown in Figure 8 ; As can be seen from Figure 4 , compared with the control group, the asc-C9 treatment group (i.e. C9 group) larvae fat contains more mitochondria; as can be seen from Figure 5It can be seen that the relative number of mitochondria in the fat of the Monochamus alternatus larvae after asc-C9 treatment is significantly increased; from Figure 6 to Figure 7 It can be seen that the respiration rate of the Monochamus alternatus larvae after injection of asc-C9 is significantly accelerated, but it is found through ATP determination that the relative content of ATP in the asc-C9 treatment group is significantly less; from Figure 8 It can be seen that the relative expression of PGC1 and UCP4 of the larvae is significantly up-regulated after injection of asc-C9; The above results all show that asc-C9 can promote the uncoupling of mitochondria for heat production in the fat utilization of Monochamus alternatus larvae.

[0022] Experimental Example 4: Mechanism of asc-C9 for increasing energy consumption of Monochamus alternatus larvae In order to explore the mechanism of asc-C9 for increasing energy consumption of Monochamus alternatus larvae, the functional gene UCP4 is further verified by the present application, and immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry are realized by the following method: Immunofluorescence: the fat of the larvae is embedded with paraffin, and after the section is developed at 37 DEG C, it is fixed with acetone at 4 DEG C for 10 min, then washed with PBS, repeated three times, then blocked with 0.1% Triton X-100 and 5% BSA mixed solution for 1 h, incubated with UCP4 containing custom rabbit source antibody (Jin Si Rui, polypeptide antibody) at 4 DEG C overnight, alpha-tubulin (1:5000, Cell Signalling Technology, USA) as an internal reference gene, washed with PBS three times, incubated with secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-rabbit IgG, Thermo Fisher, A-11012) for 30 min, 1 ug / mL DAPI staining for 10 min, using anti-fading adhesive medium (invitrogen) for adhesion, finally using confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM710) for analysis; Immunohistochemistry: the fat section of the larvae is blocked with 2.5% goat serum-PBST mixed solution at room temperature for 1 h, incubated with UCP4 containing custom rabbit source antibody at 4 DEG C overnight, washed with PBST three times, incubated with rabbit source secondary antibody (Signal Stain Boost IHC, Cell Signaling, 8114) for 1 h, washed with DAB Kit (Vector Laboratories), stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and photographed the stained slide using EVOS FL color imaging system, and the slice is quantified for lipid area and immunofluorescence brightness analysis using Image J2; From the experimental results, it can be seen that the expression of UCP4 is increased after injection of asc-C9 Figure 9a); When the expression of UCP4 or PGC1 in larvae was interfered with (dsGFP was the control group, and dsUCP4 and dsPGC1 were the post-interference treatment groups), the body temperature and survival rate at -10℃ were significantly reduced. Figure 9 b), and the resilience (head oscillation frequency within 1 minute) of larvae in the treatment group with interfered expression after being transferred from -10℃ to 25℃ for 1 day was also significantly lower than that in the control group. Figure 9 d); the respiratory rate and mitochondrial number in the interfered treatment group were significantly inhibited ( Figure 9 b and 9c), but the corresponding lipid metabolism slowed down, and the contents of TAG and ATP both increased significantly ( Figure 9 c), which is consistent with the trend after interfering with the upstream activator PGC1; however, after interfering and injecting asc-C9 (dsUCP4+C9, dsPGC1+C9 are the treatment groups after interfering with C9), the previous changes were not restored. Figure 9 c), which indicates that UCP4 is a key gene in asc-C9-mediated uncoupling thermogenesis; In summary, the generation and accumulation of ascaroside ASC-C9 under low-temperature conditions can promote mitochondrial generation and uncoupling respiration in the pine sawyer beetle, improve metabolic levels and antioxidant capacity, thereby enhancing the individual's low-temperature survival rate. This mechanism is consistent with the energy metabolism regulation and antioxidant and anti-aging effects observed during the activation of brown adipose tissue in mammals, suggesting that ascaroside ASC-C9 may have potential biological functions in delaying aging, maintaining cellular energy homeostasis, and antioxidant balance. It could serve as a candidate substance for anti-aging-related active molecules. This adaptive response centered on mitochondrial function activation is highly consistent with the mechanism of maintaining energy metabolism and redox balance during anti-aging, suggesting that ascaroside ASC-C9 may be a natural "anti-aging metabolic factor" in insects. This mechanism provides new molecular evidence for the intrinsic link between low-temperature adaptation and delaying physiological decline.

[0023] Experimental Example: Ascaroside ASC-C9 Anti-aging Mouse Model Experiment Based on the results obtained in the insect system, it was found that ascaridin asc-C9 can achieve "anti-aging metabolic activation" by promoting mitochondrial function and enhancing antioxidant defense, exhibiting physiological characteristics similar to the activation of brown adipose tissue in mammals. It is speculated that the metabolic regulation mechanism of asc-C9 may be conserved among different species. To further verify its anti-aging mechanism in mammals, this invention conducted in vivo verification experiments in mouse models. (1) Correlation analysis between asc-C9 content and aging Specifically, the asc-C9 content in mice of different ages was determined. Three male SPF-grade C57BL / 6J mice aged 6, 12, 18, and 24 months (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) were purchased. The mice were allowed free access to food and water. The room temperature was 22±2℃, the relative humidity was 45%-65%, and the day / night light / dark cycle was 12h / 12h. The mice were housed in cages of 3-4. The asc-C9 content was determined by dissecting and combining the tissues. Experimental results showed that the asc-C9 content in 24-month-old aged mice was significantly lower than that in 6-, 12-, and 18-month-old mice. Figure 10 a) indicates that the endogenous level of asc-C9 is closely related to the aging process.

[0024] (2) Verification of the anti-aging effect of ASC-C9 administration A 100 mg / kg saline solution of ascaroside ASC-C9 was prepared, with saline as the control group. Ten male C57 / B mice (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) aged 6-8 weeks were intraperitoneally injected with the solution. The weight of each group was measured. The injection dose was 10 μL / g, administered once every two days for two months. Subcutaneous adipose tissue was collected for transcriptome analysis. Western blot experiments were performed on subcutaneous adipose tissue to verify the protein expression levels of browning marker proteins UCP4 and PGC1α. Furthermore, after injection of ASC-C9 into mice, the transcription and protein expression levels of browning-related genes, as well as the transcription levels of antioxidant and anti-aging marker genes, were detected to verify its physiological effects in promoting browning and anti-aging. The results showed that after asc-C9 treatment, the browning marker genes UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1) and PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α) in mouse subcutaneous adipose tissue were significantly upregulated at both the transcriptional and protein levels. Figure 10 b) The above results indicate that asc-C9 can promote browning of adipose tissue and enhance mitochondrial activity and energy metabolism. The UCP1 is an uncoupling protein located on the mitochondria, which can eliminate the transmembrane proton concentration difference on both sides of the inner membrane of the mitochondria, slow down the oxidative phosphorylation process driven by the proton concentration difference, hinder the normal production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), decouple ATP synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation, and release energy in the form of heat; the PGC1a is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1a, which is a main medium for coordinating 15 mitochondrial biogenesis, cell respiration and energy metabolism, is a coactivator of the PPARs (PPAR-alpha, PPAR-delta and PPAR-gamma) transcription factor family and the retinoid X receptor, and can promote mitochondrial biosynthesis and promote UCP1 expression in cooperation with the transcription factor; Transcriptome analysis further reveals that a plurality of lipid metabolism and anti-aging pathway genes in adipose tissue are significantly up-regulated after asc-C9 treatment Figure 10 c), including: lipid metabolism and energy regulation pathway genes: PPARa, CPT1A (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A), ACADM (medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase), FABP4 (fatty acid binding protein 4), ATGL (adipose triacylglycerol lipase), HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase), etc., which indicates that asc-C9 can enhance fatty acid oxidation and energy metabolism; Anti-aging and antioxidant-related genes: deacetylase Sirtuins (SIRT1-7), transcription factor FOXO (Forkhead Box O), Telomerase telomerase (TERT), nuclear lamina protein Lamin A / C, autophagy-related gene ATG gene, and antioxidant-related genes: superoxide dismutase SOD, glutathione peroxidase GPX, peroxidase Prdx, catalase Cat are up-regulated after administration of ascotin, which indicates that ascotin has the effects of anti-aging and antioxidant; In summary, the application first discloses the anti-aging mechanism of ascotin asc-C9 in mammals: asc-C9 activates mitochondrial biosynthesis and lipid metabolism pathways, enhances antioxidant defense and maintains cell energy homeostasis, thereby realizing the anti-aging metabolic effect similar to the activation of mammalian brown adipose tissue, which provides a new theoretical basis and application prospect for the development of anti-aging active substances and metabolic regulators based on natural products.

[0025] Experimental Example Six In the application, the peripheral blood indicators of 15-month-old old mice after intraperitoneal injection of asc-C9 or normal saline for one month are compared with the baseline levels of 8-10-week-old normal mice, and the results show that Figure 11), asc-C9 treatment significantly reversed multiple hematological parameters deteriorated with age, restoring them to the normal range of young mice; Specifically, red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT) were significantly increased, suggesting that the impaired hematopoietic function of old mice was improved; At the same time, the red blood cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) decreased significantly, indicating that the heterogeneity of red blood cell volume decreased, and the hematopoietic homeostasis tended to be younger; In terms of platelet indicators, mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) decreased to young levels, suggesting that platelet activation and volume heterogeneity associated with aging were corrected; In terms of immune cell composition, the proportion of neutrophils, which was characteristically increased in old mice, was significantly reduced, while the proportion of lymphocytes and absolute number increased, indicating that the systemic inflammatory state (inflammaging) was reduced and adaptive immune function was restored. In summary, asc-C9 can improve red blood cell hematopoiesis, platelet homeostasis and immune cell composition with age in multiple dimensions, and overall shows a significant blood system rejuvenation effect, supporting its potential anti-aging effect.

In order to further confirm whether the key active ingredient ascarid asc-C9 can be generated in the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor of the present application, and to verify the anti-aging efficacy of the fermentation product as a whole, the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor of the present application was subjected to component detection and function evaluation: First, the content of asc-C9 in the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor of the present application was detected by high performance liquid chromatography or mass spectrometry to determine whether it was produced and accumulated during the fermentation process. Subsequently, in order to evaluate the antioxidant and cell protection activity of the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor, a cell model in vitro was used for function verification; Secondly, the free radical scavenging ability of the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor was evaluated by conventional DPPH free radical scavenging assay and ABTS free radical cation scavenging assay;

DPPH radical scavenging activity assay: The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical system was used to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth samples of Example 2; the method principle is: the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth sample to be tested is contacted with the DPPH radical system, so that the antioxidant active ingredients in the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth sample react with the DPPH radical, causing the characteristic absorbance of the DPPH solution to decrease as the free radicals are scavenged; the system without sample is used as a blank control, and a known antioxidant is used as a positive control; the DPPH radical scavenging capacity of the sample is evaluated by measuring the change in absorbance before and after the reaction and calculating the inhibition rate or clearance rate compared with the control, and the results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the clearance rate or equivalent antioxidant activity index of the sample in the system can be reported (for example, the relative potency compared with the positive control); ABTS radical cation scavenging assay: The ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diamine) radical cation (ABTS•⁺) system was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth samples of Example 2; the method principle is: the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth sample to be tested is contacted with the pre-prepared ABTS•⁺ system, and the antioxidant components in the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth sample reduce ABTS•⁺, thereby causing the characteristic absorbance of the system to decrease; the system without sample is used as a blank control, and a known antioxidant is used as a positive control; the ABTS•⁺ clearance rate or equivalent antioxidant activity of the sample is calculated by comparing the absorbance change before and after treatment of the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth sample or with the control, and the data is reported as the average of repeated measurements and the corresponding statistical indicators, and can be presented in a standardized manner as needed (for example, the relative activity based on the positive control); Cell viability / cell survival rate evaluation: To evaluate the effect of Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth on cell physiological activity, a cell viability assay based on cell metabolic activity or staining indicators (such as commonly used color reactions or fluorescence methods to detect cell metabolic enzyme activity or membrane integrity to reflect survival / viability levels) was used; the method principle is: cells are cultured under suitable conditions and treated with the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth sample of Example 2, and the control group includes the untreated (or carrier-treated) group and the positive / negative control group; after the treatment is completed, the cell viability or survival rate is reflected by measuring the metabolic markers (such as the conversion / staining intensity of the indicator substrate or the fluorescence signal) of the cells, and is normalized to the untreated control, and is reported as the relative cell viability (percentage) or statistical representation of the absolute absorbance / fluorescence value; all results should be based on biological repeats and appropriate statistical analysis to evaluate significance; The experimental results show that: LC / MS detection of ascaridol content in Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth shows that the ascaridol content in Tricholoma matsutake GABA fermentation broth is 2.43 ng / g, and the ascaridol content in Tricholoma matsutake Huangjing fermentation broth is 1.03 ng / g Figure 12 a), indicating that the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation broth can effectively produce ascaridol; The cell experiment results show that, compared with the blank control, the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor has significant free radical scavenging activity in DPPH and ABTS systems Figure 12 b-c), which indicates that the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor has antioxidant effect, and the antioxidant effect increases with the increase of the concentration; In the cell viability detection, the treatment group shows the cell viability increase relative to the blank / vector control, the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor has concentration-dependent effect on the cell viability increase, and the cell viability increase trend is more obvious with the increase of the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor concentration Figure 12 d), which proves that the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor has the effect of antioxidant and cell viability promotion; In summary of the above results, the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor can produce the ascarid asc-C9 with physiological activity in the fermentation process, and realize the anti-aging effect by increasing the antioxidant level and cell metabolic activity, and the Tricholoma matsutake fermentation liquor has significant advantages in maintaining cell function, delaying tissue degradation and improving oxidative stress of the body, and provides a new technical approach and theoretical basis for developing natural anti-aging active substances, health foods or pharmaceutical preparations.
