Polysaccharide from natural Cordyceps sinensis ameliorated intestinal injury and enhanced antioxidant activity in immunosuppressed mice

Polysaccharide is one of the main bioactive substances in Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polysaccharide from natural C. sinensis (CSP) on intestinal mucosal immunity and antioxidant activity in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced intestinal immunosuppressed mice, further to explore the potential mechanism. Results showed that in mice with Cy-induced intestinal injury, the supplement of CSP (25,...
