Cordyceps
militaris(L)Link’s decoction possesses a calmative effect on mice;when used in combination
with pentobarbital,it synergized the hypnotic action of the latter, ex-hibiting an anti-convulsive
effect,increasing the anti-fatigue ability of the experimental animals,and the plasm content of
cortisol and testesterone was elevated obviously. It increased not onlythe weight of the
preputial glands, the seminal vesicle and prostate, but also the seminal vesicle-prostate of the
castrated mice,exerting a male-hormone-like effect. The results showed that it’seffect is quite
similar to that of cordyceps sinesis(Berk)Sacc.
