Bioactive Components of Cordyceps taii and Their Immune
Functions in Mice
Abstract:The polysaccharide,adenosine and mannitol components of Cordycepstaii collected from the wild were determined, and the effects of aqueous C. taiiextracts on immune functions in mice were investigated using carbon clearance anddelayed type hypersensitivity testing(DTH),and by determining thymic and splenicindices. Polysaccharide, adenosine and mannitol levels in C. taii were 36.20 mg/g,
0.27 mg/g and 80.20 mg/g, respectively.Aqueous C. taii extracts partially alleviatedthe suppressive effects on the thymic and splenic indices caused bycyclophosphamide, and increased nonspecific immunity and cellular immunefunctions.Toxicity tests revealed that the LD50 for aqueous C. taii extract on oraladministration was69.42 g/kg.

Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc. is a rare medicinal fungus in China withnumerous special pharmacological effects favoured by consumers. However, C.sinensis yields are decreasing year by year and the price of this limited resource isnow very high due to over gathering.However, other species within the genusCordyceps have often been reported to have similar chemical composition andpharmacological effects1 and might, there fore, serve as efficient sub stitutes for C.sinensis.One such alternative species is C. taii Liang et Liu which was firstlydiscovered and reported in Guizhou Province in 1991 2 and has subsequently beenfound in Anhui, Henan, Hunan and Guangdong Provinces. Comparison of thechemical composition of C. sinensis and C. taii showed that both species had similaramino ac id,vitamin and microe lement components3 .The microelement and aminoacid composition ofC. taii mycelia have also been reported 4,5 ,and extracts ofC.taii mycelia have antiseptic 6 , immunoregulatory 6~9 and tumor cell growthinhibiting functions 10 . In order to provide a basis for utilizing C. taii as analternative forC. sinensis, we have compared the levels of various bioactivecomponents in these two species,and studied the effect of aqueous C. taii extracts onnon specific immune functions, thymic and splenic indices,and cellular immunity inmic e.

CloudCone商家我们很多喜欢低价便宜VPS主机的肯定是熟悉的,个人不是特别喜欢他。因为我之前测试过几次,开通的机器IP都是不通的,需要删除且开通好几次才能得到一个可用的IP地址。当然他们家的优势也是有的,就是价格确实便宜,而且还支持删除重新开通,而且机房只有一个洛杉矶MC。实话,如果他们家能多几个机房,保持现在的特点,还是有很多市场的。CloudCone是来自美国的主机销售商,成立于2017...

RFCHOST,这个服务商我们可能有一些朋友知道的。不要看官网是英文就以为是老外服务商,实际上这个服务商公司在上海。我们实际上看到的很多商家,有的是繁体,有的是英文,实际上很多都是我们国人朋友做的,有的甚至还做好几个品牌域名,实际上都是一个公司。对于RFCHOST商家还是第一次分享他们家的信息,公司成立大约2015年左右。目前RFCHOST洛杉矶机房VPS正进行优惠促销,采用CN2优化线路,电信双...
