Although in vitro and animal models provide preliminary support for some of the traditional medicinal uses, there are no clinical studies demonstrating health benefits in humans.[10] Some polysaccharide components and cordycepin, which have some anticancer activity in preliminary in vitro and animal studies,[11] have been isolated from C. sinensis and C. militaris. Some work has been published in which Cordyceps sinensis has been used to protect the bone marrow and digestive systems of mice from whole body irradiation.[12] An experiment noted a chemical compound isolated from Cordyceps sinensis may protect the liver from damage.[13] An experiment with mice noted that Cordyceps sinensis may have an anti-depressant effect.[14] Researchers have noted that a polysaccharide isolated from Cordyceps sinensis has a hypoglycemic effect and may be beneficial for people with insulin resistance.[15][16][17][18][19]

Cordyceps fungus attacks a host, the mycelium invades and eventually replaces the host tissue, while the elongated fruiting body (stroma) may be cylindrical, branched, or of complex shape. The stroma bears many small, flask-shaped perithecia that contain the asci. These in turn contain the thread-like ascospores, which usually break into fragments and are presumably infec
