Objective: To investigate the protective effects of Ganoderma lucidum spore polysaccharide (GLSP) on liver injury caused by acetaminophen (APAP). Methods: Fifty mice were randomly divided into five groups: Blank group, model group, positive drug group, GLSP low-dose group and GLSP high-dose group, with 10 mice in each group. After each group was pre-administered according to the corresponding dose for 14 consecutive days, the liver index, serum indexes (glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT)) and liver tissue plasma indexes (glutathione (GSH), malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-xl) were determined. Results: Compared with the blank group, ALT, AST, MDA and proapoptotic genes Caspase-3 and Bax were very significantly increased in the model group (P
