1、雄性激素样作用：蚕蛹能增加成年雄性去势小鼠的前列腺-贮精囊、提肛肌-海绵球肌的重量，促进未成年雄性小鼠的后生长，并使这两种小鼠的肝组织中的RNA，DNA及蛋白质含量增高。2、保护肝脏作用：蚕蛹含有丰富的蛋白质，以其制成的复合氨基酸对喂以无氮基础饲料的大鼠有升高血清总蛋白和血红蛋白的作用；对实验性肝炎大鼠有降低血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶、保护肝脏的作用。3、增强机体免疫功能作用：蚕蛹氨基酸能提高免疫功能低下的小鼠的细胞免疫和体液免疫功能，免疫器官脾脏和胸腺的重量也较免疫功能低下时的小鼠增加，还能增强小鼠外周血单核吞噬细胞碳粒廓清的能力。4、对脂质代谢的影响：蚕蛹油可以降低大鼠血清中总胆固醇及丙二醛含量，升高高密度脂蛋白胆固醇/总胆固醇比值，降低肝组织中丙二醛含量，并促进大鼠体内二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸合成。5、降血糖作用：蚕蛹粉对四氧嘧啶致糖尿病小鼠具降血糖作用，经过试验处理的小鼠在30d后，血糖明显下降。相关论述

1. Androgen-like effects: Silkworm pupa can increase the weight of the prostate-vesicular gland and levator ani-sponge muscle in adult male castrated mice, promote post-growth in prepubescent male mice, and increase the RNA, DNA, and protein content in the liver tissues of these two types of mice.2. Hepatoprotective effects: Silkworm pupa contains rich proteins, and complex amino acids made from it can increase the serum total protein and hemoglobin levels in rats fed with a nitrogen-free diet. It also has a protective effect on experimental hepatitis rats by reducing serum alanine aminotransferase levels and protecting the liver.3. Enhanced immune function: Silkworm pupa amino acids can improve the cellular and humoral immune functions of mice with immune deficiency. The weights of immune organs such as the spleen and thymus also increase compared to mice with low immune function. It can also enhance the ability of peripheral blood monocytes in mice to clear carbon particles.4. Effects on lipid metabolism: Silkworm pupa oil can lower the total cholesterol and malondialdehyde content in the serum of rats, increase the ratio of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to total cholesterol, reduce the malondialdehyde content in liver tissues, and promote the synthesis of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in rats.5. Hypoglycemic effects: Silkworm pupa powder has a hypoglycemic effect on streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, with a significant decrease in blood sugar levels after 30 days of experimental treatment.
