From the above-mentioned reports, given that the chemical
constituents and pharmacological activities of fresh and dry drugs
are different, what is the difference of immunoregulation between
Fresh Cordyceps militaris (FCM) and dry Cordyceps militaris (DCM);
in particular, what the immunoregulation have to do with the
changes of active ingredients. At present, information about the
effects of heat processing on the immunoregulation of CM is scant.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the immune
activity of fresh and dried herbs of CM. The details are reported in
the current study.
