Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, the effect of Moringa oleifera extracts were investigated on an immunosuppressed model of cyclophosphamide-induced Swiss mice. M. oleifera seed and root extracts (2.0 g kg−1 body wt) were administered orally for 7 consecutive days; cyclophosphamide (CP) (200 mg kg−1 i.p.) was administered by IV on the 4th day. Results indicated that the extracts of the M. oleifera seeds and roots ameliorated the immunosuppressive effects of CP on delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response, leukocyte counts, relative organ weight, IgM concentration, serum TNF-α assay and micro-histological images. This study demonstrated in vivo the therapeutic effect of M. oleifera on the immune response in clinical application.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
