The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

Grifola gargal Singer is a medicinal mushroom with biological effects such as antiatherogenic and antiosteoporotic activities. The objective of this study was to examine a blood glucose–reducing effect and a fatreducing effect of G. gargal supplementation in vivo. The effects of G. gargal powder (GGP) in a high–molecular weight hot water extract (GGH) and a low–molecular weight hot water extract (GGL) on blood glucose were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic ICR mice (STZ diabetic mice). A significant decrease in blood glucose was observed after 5 weeks of GGL supplementation (fraction with a molecular weight ≤ 6000 Da) in STZ diabetic mice. In the next test, we examined the antihyperglycemic and fat-reducing effects of GGL in diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice fed a high-fat diet. GGL facilitated reductions in blood glucose and body fat. This study confirms, to our knowledge for the first time, that administration of G. gargal extract has antihyperglycemic and body fat–reducing effects in STZ diabetic mice and DIO mice. Therefore, G. gargal is a promising functional food to prevent and treat diabetes and lifestyle-related diseases.
