The Efficacy of Sporoderm-broken Ganoderma Spores in Treatment of Male Climacteric Syndrome

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of sporoderm-broken ganoderma spores in treatment of male climacteric syndrome. Methods: 138 male patients with male climacteric syndrome were randomized to received sporoderm-broken ganoderma spore capsules (n=80) and observed for changes in symptoms, serum testosterone, SOD, MDA and depression scores as compared with 58 controls on placebo. Results: Over 3 weeks, patients on sporodermo-broken ganoderma spores were improved in symptoms by 74%. Before treatment and on week 3 in the treatment group, the serum testosterone level was(131.51±19.12)mg/L and (253.78±21.45)mg/lL, SOD level was(1 068.3±121.4)U/g.Hb and(1 178.1±132.6)U/g.Hb, and MDA level was(7.6±0.8)μmol/L and (5.8±0.6)μmol/L respectively. Conclusion: sporoderm-broken ganoderma spore was effective and safe for treatment of male climateric syndrome. Scores of depression were also improved after treatment.
