The aim of the present study is to evaluate the cytotoxicity and glucose uptake activity of methanolic extract of pleurotus eousmushroom using L6 cell lines. An MTT assay is a colorimetric assay based on assessing the cell metabolic activityThe resultsshowed that the extracts did not confer any cytotoxicity. The effects were observed in treated cells up to 6.25 mg/ml extract asmeasured with MTT. Also the mushroom extracts shows better glucose uptake potential. The results were compared with Insulina standard antidiabetic drug. Insulin enhance the glucose uptake upto 97.8%. The L6 cell lines enhance the glucose uptake by57.4% at 65µg concentration.
