An aqueous ginger extract was administered to 68 male Saudi healthcare workers (33 smokers and 35 non-smokers) daily for 21 days. Blood samples were collected before and after the experimental period to determine the complete and differential blood counts; and concentrations of C-reactive protein, IgG, IgM, and thyroid hormones.

At the end of the experimental period, compared to non-smokers, smokers had a significantly higher mean lymphocyte and RBC counts, and hemoglobin concentration; and a significantly lower mean neutrophil count, and IgM and thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations. In conclusion, the extract had different effects on cells and antibodies of the immune system in smokers and non-smokers, although both benefited from enhancement of the thyroid gland. Smokers experienced increases in mean RBC counts and hemoglobin levels, thus ginger may be beneficial for smokers with anemia. Non-smokers had increased mean IgM levels, which may lead to a stronger antibody response, or humoral immunity, against infections.

Diet supplemented with BSF at 10% and 20% significantly (p &lt; 0.05) increased testicular steroidogenic enzymes (Δ<sup>5-</sup>17β-HSD and Δ<sup>5-</sup>17β-HSD) as well neuroendocrine hormones (LH, FSH) and testosterone levels in EOMABRL-intoxicated rats. Also, BSF prevented the alterations associated with spermatogenesis by potentiating seminiferous tubules (STs) and spermatocytes. We therefore concluded that diet formulated with BSF triggers the production of testicular endocrine hormones and hypothalamus pituitary–testicular axis via resuscitating germ cells in compromised rats.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":91757,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutrition & intermediary metabolism","volume":"15 ","pages":"Pages 70-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jnim.2019.02.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42586744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
