The worldwide prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its related complications such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease have been increasing steadily. Apart from realigning dietary intake habits and exercising regularly, consuming food with health benefits could help patients with MetS improve their health. Oyster mushrooms (genus Pleurotus) are among the most common edible mushrooms explored for potential use for combating MetS due to their high nutritional contents with additional bioactive components. Besides, numerous high-fat diets and drug-induced hyperglycemic animal studies have revealed the ability of oyster mushrooms to improve MetS-related conditions by targeting different mechanisms. Several clinical studies have shown varying efficacy levels of the mushrooms in combatting MetS and related complications. However, these findings have yet to be compared and reviewed to provide an overview and meaningful inferences on the benefits of the mushroom against MetS. This review will provide insights and updates on the nutritional composition, efficacy and mechanisms of oyster mushrooms in preventing or attenuating MetS-related conditions, as well as the perspectives and challenges of introducing these mushrooms as food products with health benefits.
