RE: Cordyceps - 4

Mir war gar nicht klar, dass die Bezeichnung Cordyceps so umfassend und damit schwammig ist. Man muss die Beiträge hier also genau lesen und darauf achten, welcher Cordyceps jeweils gemeint ist. Vielleicht sollten wir besser zwei Threads haben, einen für sinensis und einen für militaris?

Der Begriff Cordyceps umfasst hunderte von Pilzarten, von denen Cordyceps militaris jedoch aus gesundheitlicher Sicht neben Cordyceps sinensis die größte Bedeutung hat.

Cordyceps militaris wird verwendet, um das Immunsystem zu unterstützen, als Antivirusmittel, um den Blutzucker zu kontrollieren und die Leber- und Nieren zu schützen.

Obwohl die Forschung im Gange ist, gibt es noch nicht genügend klinische Studien zur Puppen-Kernkeule, weshalb der Pilz noch nicht von der westlichen Medizin verwendet wird.

Unique Bioactives from Zombie Fungus (Cordyceps) as Promising Multitargeted Neuroprotective Agents

Cordyceps, also known as “zombie fungus”, is a non-poisonous mushroom that parasitizes insects for growth and development by manipulating the host system in a way that makes the victim behave like a “zombie”. These species produce promising bioactive metabolites, like adenosine, β-glucans, cordycepin, and ergosterol. Cordyceps has been used in traditional medicine due to its immense health benefits, as it boosts stamina, appetite, immunity, longevity, libido, memory, and sleep. Neuronal loss is the typical feature of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) (Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)) and neurotrauma. Both these conditions share common pathophysiological features, like oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and glutamatergic excitotoxicity. Cordyceps bioactives (adenosine, N6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-adenosine, ergosta-7, 9 (11), 22-trien-3β-ol, active peptides, and polysaccharides) exert potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities and display beneficial effects in the management and/or treatment of neurodegenerative disorders in vitro and in vivo. Although a considerable list of compounds is available from Cordyceps, only a few have been evaluated for their neuroprotective potential and still lack information for clinical trials. In this review, the neuroprotective mechanisms and safety profile of Cordyceps extracts/bioactives have been discussed, which might be helpful in the identification of novel potential therapeutic entities in the future.
