The extrusion-cooking condition on Cordyceps pruinosa was designed using twin-screw extruder. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate extrusion-cooking using a central composition design with varying die temperature $(114-146^{\circ}C)$, feed moisture $(22-38\%)$, feed rate (4-14 ka/h) and screw speed (120-280 rpm). System parameters (die pressure and specific mechanical energy (SME)) and extrudate parameters (density and water solubility index (WSI)) were statically analyzed using RSH. Die pressure was significantly affected by temperature, moisture contents and feed rate. SM was affected by screw speed and feed rate. When die temperature is $130^{\circ}C$ and moisture content $25\%$, the optimum pressure is shown. SME is about 20 Wh/kg, when feed rate is $10\~12kg/min$ and screw speed $200\~250rpm$. WSI was affected by temperature and moisture contents. Density was not affected by any factor. WSI increases by $7\%$ from about $23\%$ to about $30\%$, as temperature is raised from $120^{\circ}C\;to\;140^{\circ}C$. The WSI of Cordyceps pruinosa pulverized after extruding (PE) is about $26.97\%$ higher than that of raw material and $10\%$ higher than that of pulverized after drying (PD). The content of unsaturated fatty acid were not significantly different in PD and PE. Anti-oxidative activity of PE was 1.67-2.2 times higher than that of PD in Cordyceps pruinosa using 1- dipheny1-2-picrylhydrazyl method (DPPH).

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate effects of Cordyceps militaris(CM) on osteoclast differentiation and its related gene expression. Methods: We used mouse myeloid cells RAW 264.7 stimulated by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand(RANKL) to induce osteoclast differentiation. There are four groups of which RAW 264.7 cells are not stimulated by RANKL (Normal), stimulated by RANKL without CM(Control), stimulated by RANKL with 0.1 ${\mu}g/ml$ of CM(CM 0.1), stimulated by RANKL with 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ of CM(CM 1). Osteoclastogenesis was measured by counting Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells [TRAP(+) MNC]. RT-PCR was performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of CM on gene expression(TRAP, AKT1, JNK1, NFATc1, c-Fos, MITF). Results: 1. CM decreased the number of TRAP(+) osteoclast in RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 cell at the concentration of 0.1 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 1 ${\mu}g/ml$. 2. CM decreased the expression of TRAP in osteoclast at the concentration of 1 ${\mu}g/ml$. 3. CM decreased the expression of AKT1, JNK1 in osteoclast at the concentration of 1 ${\mu}g/ml$. 4. CM didn't affect the expression of NFATc1, c-Fos, MITF in osteoclast. Conclusions: Cordyceps militaris has inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation and its related gene expression. These results suggest that Cordyceps militaris has a potential as a treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective : This study was undertaken to determine whether Cordyceps sinensis Sacc. (CSS) extract exerts the protective effect against oxidant-induced alterations in membrane transport function in renal tubules. Methods : Membrane transport fucntion was estimated by examining alterations in p-aminohippurate (PAH) uptake in rabbit renal cortical slices. For induction oxidative stress, slices were treated with an organic peroxide cumene hydroperoxide for 60 min at $37^{\circ}C$. Cumene hydroperoxide inhibited PAH uptake in a time dependent manner. Results : CSS at 0.5-5% concentrations prevented cumene hydroperoxide-induced inhibition of PAH uptake. CSS at 1% also attenuated LDH release and lipid peroxidation induced by cumene hydroperoxide. When slices were treated with 0.2 mM mercury chloride, PAH uptake was inhibited and lipid peroxidation was increased. These changes by mercury were significantly prevented by CSS. Conclusion : These results suggest that CSS prevents oxidant-induced alterations in membrane transport function in rabbit renal cortical slices. Such protective effect of CSS may be attributed to inhibition of peroxidation of membrane lipid.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the Cordyceps militaris extract on the improvement of the glucide metabolism in serum of streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg BW, IP injection)-induced diabetic rats (SD strain, male) fed the experimental diets for 5 weeks. Concentrations of creatinine, lipid peroxide and NEFA in sera were significantly higher in the STZ-induced diabetic group (group DMG) and STZ+Cordyceps militaris extract administration group (group DMS) than those in the control group (group BD). However, the concentrations of creatinine, lipid peroxide and NEFA in sera were reduced in the group DMS than those in the group DMG. The activity of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in serum was lower in the group DMS than in the group DMG. The activity of LCAT in serum was increased in the group DMS (Cordyceps militaris extract administration) than in the group DMG. The results indicate that Cordyceps militaris extract were effective in the improvement of the glucide metabolism in the sera of STZ-induced diabetic rats.

뽕나무가루 첨가 배지에서 배양한 느타리버섯균사체 배양물의 조추출물이 자유라다칼로 유도한 linloeic acid의 산화를 대조구에 비해 75.9% 감소시켰고, mouse liver microsome산화에서도 NADPH/Fe$^{++}$ system에서 64.3% 감소시켰다. 이와 같은 효과는 조추출물로부터 용매분획한 분획물의 단독 효과보다 우수하였다. 상황 및 동충하초버섯균사체 배양물의 조추출물도 느타리 버섯균사체 배양물의 조추출물과 효과가 유사하였지만 다소 낮았다.

The fallowing are the results of the experimental studies of Cordyceps militaris (CM) on the penile nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and the level of blood testosterone in hydrocortisone acetate-treated rats. CM was tested for the effects on activity of xanthine oxidase and lipid peroxidation in penis of hydrocortisone acetate-treated rats. In vitro, CM didn't effect the levels of lipid peroxide and the activity of NOS. In the penis of hydrocortisone acetate-treated rats, lipid peroxide, the activities and ratio of type conversion of xanthine oxidase were increased but activity of NOS and content of nitrite were decreased. In vivo, after administration of CM to hydrocortisone acetate-treated rats, levels of lipid peroxide in penis was decreased. Also, the activities and ratio of type conversion of xanthine oxidase were decreased, too. The body weight and concentration of testosterone in the blood were increased. The effects of Cordyceps militalis Broth did better than the effects of Cordyceps militalls Mycelia, These results suggest that CM decrease the activities of free radical generating enzymes such as xanthine oxidase which form lipid peroxide and increase the penile NOS activity and the level of blood testosterone in hydrocortisone acetate-treated rats. Conclusively, CM is capable of improving of sexual ability in hydrocortisone acetate-treated rats.

전신 ${\gamma}$ - 선 조사 24 시간 전에 Cordyceps sinensis (Cs) 추출물을 복강에 단일 투여하였을 때 ${\gamma}$ - 선 조사된 생쥐의 생존율, 체중, 기관 무게 및 혈청 대사물에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. Cs 추출물의 투여는 ${\gamma}$ - 선을 조사한 생쥐의 40 - day 생존율을 66.7%에서 83.4%로 증가시켰다. 또한 Cs 추출물의 투여는 ${\gamma}$ - 선 조사에 의한 비장과 흉선의 무게감소를 완전히 막아 주었다 (P<0.05, P<0.01). 한편 이와 유사하나 다소 적은 방사선 방호효과가 Cs 투여군의 고환에서도 관찰되었다. Cs 추출물의 투여는 ${\gamma}$ - 선 조사시 나타나는 조사 7 일째의 고혈당 효과를 억제하였다 (P<0.01). 그러나 조사된 기간 동안 혈청 콜레스테롤과 단백질의 수준에는 아무런 영향을 주지 않았다. 본 연구는 Cs가 방사선 방호효과를 보여주는 최초의 보고이다.

공시균주인 EFCC C-251, EFCC C-252, EFCC C-1092 균주 중 현미(60 g)와 누에 번데기(30 g)를 혼합한 배지에서 EFCC C-252 균주가 자실체가 잘 형성되어 이 균주를 가지고 본 연구를 수행하였다. 자실체 형성 최적온도는 $25^{\circ}C$이었으며 광은 형광등으로 조명도는 300 lux이었다. 기본배지에 lactose, ammonium sulfate와 $KH_2PO_4$를 첨가한 배지에서 균사의 생육은 좋았으나 자실체 형성은 기본배지에 현미(20 g)를 첨가한 배지에서 좋았다. 현미만으로는 70 g를 넣은 배지와 누에 번데기만은 80 g를 넣은 배지에서 에서 자실체의 형성이 좋았다. 현미와 누에번데기를 같이 넣었을 때는 현미 60 g에 누에번데기 40 g에서 다른 비율배지에 비해 자실체 형성이 좋았다. 관수는 2일 간격으로 한 처리구가 좋았으며 액체종균의 접종량은 $5{\sim}25\;ml$까지는 자실체 생육이 비슷함을 보이다가 접종량이 증가할수록 자실체 생육이 저조하였다.
