Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku presented at a conference the results of basic research on male infertility using silkworm cordyceps, conducted jointly with Juntendo University. The study examined the testosterone-increasing effects of the material at the cellular level from the perspective of an aromatase-inhibition mechanism.
Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku, headquartered in Kyoto, co-hosted a sponsored symposium on male infertility and presented basic research findings on silkworm cordyceps at the 26th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Men's Health, held at KDDI Ishin Hall on 26–27 September.
The general research presentation reported the results of a joint study with Juntendo University that examined the testosterone-increasing effects of silkworm cordyceps using cells, from the perspective of an aromatase-inhibition mechanism.
At a sponsored symposium led by Assistant Professor Minato Ryoei (湊 亮詠) of the Department of Urology at Tokushima University Hospital, speakers discussed the role of supplements in light of research on silkworm cordyceps. The company indicated that it will continue joint research with universities and other institutions and build an evidence base for the material's functional properties.
