The aim of the study was to investigate the antihyperglycemic effects of the dry matter of culture broth of Cordyceps militaris (MCCM) in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mice. Animals were treated with different doses (250 and 500 mg/kg body weight) of MCCM orally for 35 days. Streptozotocin treatment (150 mg/kg body weight) induced the decrease of body weight, reduced glutathione level, hepatic glycogen content in liver, insulin level in serum, accompanied the elevation of serum blood glucose level. Treatment with MCCM restored the changes in the above parameters up to the basal level. The protective effects were further supported by attenuation of the degree of pancreas damage in MCCM treated mice. It could be concluded that MCCM possesses significant antihyperglycemic in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.
