Improvement in the Blood Urea Nitrogen and Serum Creatinine Using New Cultivation of Cordyceps militaris

Figure 2

Body weight growth curves from uremic mice, with and without C. militaris mycelia treatment. Partial nephrectomy ICR mice (weighing approximately 30 g each) were divided into four groups and treated with C. militaris mycelia (3 mg dried mycelia dissolved in 0.3 mL water) cultured in HKS, HKS + A, CM, or CM + A medium by oral gavage for 28 days, whereas the Nx control group received distilled water. Body weight measurements were taken every day after treatment with C. militaris mycelia water solution or distilled water until day 30. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean.
