Abstract EN
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fermented mushroom of Cordyceps sinensis (CS), rich in selenium (Se-CS), on uterine cervical cancer in mice.
The methylcholanthrene- (MCA-) induced tumor model was used in this paper.
After the mice were administered Se-CS, the animals showed 40% tumor incidence (P<0.05).
Se-CS also enhanced the immune functions.
Se-CS treatment showed significant (P<0.05–0.01) restoration in the level of glutathione content, lipid peroxidation, glutathione peroxidase activity, glutathione reductase activity, catalase activity, Na+/K+-ATPase activity, and glutathione S transferase activity.
This finding suggested that the concomitant use of Se and CS could be a potential therapeutic approach to improve the efficacy of therapy for uterine cervical cancer.
