[Pharmacological study on Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc. and ze-e Cordyceps]

The Ze-e Cordyceps is similar to the Cordyceps sinensis in such pharmacological actions as calming, enduring hypoxia, dilating trachea, male sex hormone action, antiphlogistic and toxicity, etc. It is thus suggested that the Ze-e Cordyceps may be used place of the Cordyceps sinensis in clinical practice.
