  24. Cordyceps • Stimulate ATP production (Yang) • Enhance immune response (Yin)

  25. Yang vs. Yin • Yang but not Yin herbs stimulate ATP production • Pharmacological basis of Yang-invigoration in Chinese medicine Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (2004)

  26. Yang-Invigorating Herbs Yang - oxidation  Yin - antioxidation Why Yang herbs contain high antioxidant activity?

  27. Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain
