| Description | Chinese tonifying herbs such as Herba Cistanche, Ganoderma and Cordyceps, which possess
antioxidant and/or immunomodulatory activities, can be useful in the prevention and treatment of
age-related diseases. Pharmacological studies on Yang and Yin tonifying herbs suggest that Yang
tonifying herbs stimulate mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, presumably
through the intermediacy of reactive oxidant species, leading to the enhancement of cellular/
mitochondrial antioxidant status. Yin tonifying herbs, however, apart from possessing antioxidant
properties, exert mainly immunomodulatory functions that may boost a weak immune system and
may also suppress overreactive immune responses. The abilities of Yang and Yin Chinese tonifying
herbs to enhance ATP generation and to exhibit antioxidant and/or immunomodulatory actions are
the pharmacological basis for their beneficial effects on the retardation of aging. |
