A. Latifynia, M. Vojgani, H. Jafarieh and T. Abofazeli

Abstract: To study the possible changes, neutrophils in 24 normal male Muslim adults were measured and compared before and after Ramadan, using chemiluminescence method. There were no significant effects of fasting on blood neutrophil function during Ramadan. Fasting during holy month of Ramadan does not change neutrophil functions and has no hazardous effect on immunity.
