Protective effect of Cordyceps militaris against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in vitroDOI: 10.4162/nrp.2019.13.4.279 Keywords: Cordyceps militaris, free radicals, neuroglia, hydrogen peroxide, oxidative stress Abstract: Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl (·OH), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is reported to induce oxidative stress. ROS generated by oxidative stress can potentially damage glial cells in the nervous system. Cordyceps militaris (CM), a kind of natural herb widely found in East Asia. In this study, we investigated the free radical scavenging activity of the CM extract and its neuroprotective effects in H2O2-induced C6 glial cells
