Effect of medicinal plant extracts on forced swimming capacity in mice

The tonic effect of Cordyceps militaris (CM), Paecilomyces japonia (PJ), Phellinus linteus (PL), Ganoderma lucidum (GL), Grifola frondosa (GF), and Panax ginseng (PG) was examined based on the forced swimming capacity and the change of biochemical parameters in ICR mice. The treatment groups were or...

Description
Summary:The tonic effect of Cordyceps militaris (CM), Paecilomyces japonia (PJ), Phellinus linteus (PL), Ganoderma lucidum (GL), Grifola frondosa (GF), and Panax ginseng (PG) was examined based on the forced swimming capacity and the change of biochemical parameters in ICR mice. The treatment groups were orally administered medicinal plant extracts (500 mg/kg per day), while the control group received distilled water for 4 weeks. The swimming times to exhaustion were longer in the CM, PJ, and GF groups than in the control group ( P
