Antioxidant and Immunopotentiating Effects of <i>Cordyceps </i> Mycelium Extract, Chicken Essence, and Their Combination in Experimental Models

Cordyceps mycelium extract (Cs-4), Chicken Essence (CE), and their combination were investigated for antioxidant immunomodulatory activities in mouse models. Long-term treatment with Cs-4 or CE at equivalent human doses improved status various tissues, as evidenced by the enhancement of mitochondrial glutathione redox brain, liver, heart, kidney mice. also produced an action, indicated potentiation Concanavalin A-/lipopolysaccharide-induced proliferation splenocytes ex vivo. While doubling did not further enhance immunopotentiating effects, combined respective additive effect, extents stimulation being larger than those alone. The results have demonstrated first time that use can produce effect on both antioxidation immunopotentiation cannot otherwise be achieved increasing
