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

Figure 3

Relative levels of (a) BUN and (b) serum creatinine in the uremic mice with or without C. militaris mycelia treatment at days 1, 10, and 30. 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. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean.
