| Cordyceps and Testicular Cancer |
Cordycepin, an active ingredient found in Cordyceps militaris, has properties that could aid in the treatment of testicular cancer. A 2015 study examined the effects of cordycepin on MA-10 mouse Leydig tumor cells.
The use of cordycepin induced apoptosis of the mouse Leydig cells. Although more research is needed, these results suggest that this compound could be helpful when used in addition to cancer medicine.
