title: [Effect of Cordyceps militaris on the damage of rats induced by n-hexane].
abstract: Acutely inhaling n-hexane model was adopted to study the effect of Cordyceps militaris and the damage induced by n-hexane. The results showed that Cordyceps militaris was effective on the resisting lipid peroxidation. The results also showed that acutely inhaling n-hexane could lead to or enhance the damage reaction of oxygen free radicals, which could lead to injure of lipid peroxidation. That may be one of the mechanism of n-hexane toxicity effect on living things.
