arundinaceum Baker in Wistar rats]]>SharmaManorma SharmaArchana KumarAshwani 72012127The aim of present study was to evaluate immunomodulatory potential of ethanolic
extract of Asparagus racemosus Wild. and Chlorophytum arundinaceum
Baker. in comparison to established immunosuppressant Cedrus deodara
wood oil (100 mg kg-1 b.wt.) in mice. The assessment of immunomodulatory
activity on specific and nonspecific immunity was studied by Delayed Type Hypersensitivity
(DTH) and neutrophil adhesion test respectively. Through Neutrophil adhesion
test maximum sensitivity was observed in in vivo extract of C. arundinaceum
while percent inhibition was maximum in in vitro extract of A.
racemosus. In vivo Chlorophytum arundinaceum extract at 300 mg kg-1
dose statistically significantly inhibit the adhesion of neutrophils to nylon
fiber. However, in vivo A. racemosus at the dose of 300 mg kg-1
was found to significantly decreased rat paw edema as compared to control, in
vivo C. arundinaceumand in vitro A. racemosus extract. The present study
has shown the immunomodulatory activity of both plants by potentiating humoral
as well as cellular immunity.]]>Al-Sultan, S.I.,2003Curcuma longa (Tumeric) on overall performance of broiler chickens.]]>2351353Arora, R., D. Gupta, R. Chawla, R. Sagar and A.
