The in vitro and in vivo antioxidation activities of the extracts from various Cordyceps species. (a) The in vitro DPPH antioxidant activities of the water extracts of O. formosana, C. militaris, and O. sinensis mycelia (designated as OFMY, CMMY, and OSMY, resp.). (b) The DPPH antioxidant activity of the O. formosana mycelial water extract compared to those of the water extracts of the C. militaris and O. sinensis fruiting bodies (designated as CMFB and OSFB, resp.). (c, d) The in vivo cell-based ROS scavenging effect as measured by flow cytometry (c) and the quantification results (d). graphs without the same letter are significantly different from one another in each group ().
