Abstract
The change in eating patterns has contributed
 to the suffering of one of the main public health problems.
 Obesity is defined as an energy imbalance, where there is
 excessive storage of energy. Oxidative stress originates
 when the redox state of the cell is affected because they are
 exposed to a pro-oxidant environment and the antioxidant
 mechanisms are overwhelmed. Dietary antioxidants are
 substances present in food and have a function of protecting
 the organism from the adverse effects of reactive oxygen
 species. In addition, oxidative stress in obesity can be
 counteracted through physical activity and by modifying the
 diet through functional foods with a high content of bioactive
 compounds with an antioxidant effect. Ganoderma lucidum is
 a medicinal mushroom with various bioactive compounds,
 among which phenolic compounds, polysaccharides and
 triterpenoids stand out, which are largely responsible for
 the antioxidant activity of this species. In the present work,
 a bibliographic review was carried out on the antioxidant
 effect of G. lucidum on obesity.
