Functions of cordyceps sinensis extract

1. Effects on cardiovascular system

The water extract of cordyceps sinensis can slow down heart rate and increase cardiac output and coronary flow. The alcohol extract and fermentation broth of artificial cordyceps militaris mycelium also have certain protective effect on the stress myocardial infarction caused by thyroxine and norepinephrine. Cordyceps alcohol extract intravenously injected can shorten the duration of arrhythmia and reduce the degree of arrhythmia.

2. Immune enhancement

The alcohol extract of cordyceps sinensis can significantly enhance the phagocytic function of the monocyte-macrophage system. The volume and nucleus of macrophages increase, and the cytoplasm is abundant. The particles, vacuoles, phagosomes and lysosomes in the cytoplasm increase, and the content of lysozyme in the serum increases. It can also antagonize the inhibition of the phagocytic function of macrophages.

3. Endocrine effect

Can increase adrenal cholesterol content, so that adrenal weight gain; Cordyceps sinensis has androgen-like effects on the prevention and treatment of “yang-like deficiency” caused by hydrocortisone acetate.

4.Impact on kidney function

In clinical practice, the preparation of artificial cordyceps sinensis was used in patients with chronic nephritis.

5. Anti-inflammatory effect

The anti-inflammatory effect is related to the enhancement of the synthesis and secretion of adrenal cortical hormone.

6. Anti-tumor effect

Water extracts from cordyceps and cordyceps can not only inhibit tumor growth, but also enhance the anticancer effect of cyclophosphamide.

7. Anti-aging effect

Cordyceps sinensis extract can improve the activity of age-related enzymes (such as SOD, gsh-px and catalase), and cordyceps sinensis extract can enhance the brain function and the antioxidant enzyme activity of d-galactose induced senescence r.

8.Respiratory effects

Cordyceps sinensis water extract can significantly increase the secretion of epinephrine, relax bronchial smooth muscle, expand bronchus, dispel phlegm, relieve asthma and other effects, and has good therapeutic effects on cough, phlegm and blood, tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis.
