[Action of silky chicken-Gastrodia elata Blume nutrient solution on immunoregulatory function in mice].

OBJECTIVE

To study the immunoregulatory function of Silky Chicken-Gastrodia Elata Blume nutrient solution in mice.

METHODS

Body weights, relative weights of immune organs, celluar immune functions, humoral immunity functions, mononuclear macrophage activitied and NK cell activities were tested in mice treated at the doses of 16.7, 33.4 and 50.0 ml/kg bw of Silky Chicken-Gastrodia Elata Blume nutrient solution.

RESULTS

Silky Chicken-Gastrodia Elata Blume nutrient solution could remarkably increase the ratio of thymus to weight (P < 0.05) and the number of plague forming cells of mouse spleen cells (P < 0.01). NK cells activities were significantly increased (P < 0.05) under the conditions of twenty fold or thirty fold dosage of the the nutrient solution.

CONCLUSION

It was suggested that Silky Chicken-Gastrodia Elata Blume nutrient solution could have strong strengthening function on immune system.
