Immunostimulatory Effect of Immunostim plus – a Standardized Fixed Combination of Schizandra Chinensis with Eleutherococcus Senticosus Extracts on Lymphocyte-dependent Cellular Immunity in Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vivo effects of fructus Schizandrae and radix Eleutherococci combined extracts on various parameters of lymphocyte activity in Balb/c mice were studied. Feeding mice 300, 600 or 1200 μg of the extracts per day for 7 d, produced the activation of chemokinetic activity of spleen lymphocytes, enhancement of proliferative response of splenocytes and blood lymphocytes to mitogens, stimulation of the graftversus-host activity of splenic lymphocytes, and stimulation of SRBC antibody production.

Effect of a combination of extract from several plants on cell-mediated and humoral immunity of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
The influence of a plant preparation AdMax (Nulab Inc., Clearwater, FL, USA) on immunity in ovarian cancer patients was studied. The preparation is a combination of dried ethanol/water extracts from roots of Leuzea carthamoides, Rhodiola rosea, Eleutherococcus senticosus and fruits of Schizandra chinensis. Twenty eight patients with stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer were treated once with ...
متن کاملEffects of various Eleutherococcus senticosus cortex on swimming time, natural killer activity and corticosterone level in forced swimming stressed mice.
The cortex of Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. & Maxim.) Maxim. has been used extensively in Russia, China, Korea and Japan as an adaptogen whose properties are the ability to increase as non-specific body resistance to stress and fatigue. Although it has been reported that Eleutherococcus senticosus has anti-fatigue and anti-stress actions, their actions are still unclear on the relationship ...
متن کاملThe Adaptogens Rhodiola and Schizandra Modify the Response to Immobilization Stress in Rabbits by Suppressing the Increase of Phosphorylated Stress-activated Protein Kinase, Nitric Oxide and Cortisol
Adaptogens possess anti-fatigue and anti-stress activities that can increase mental and physical working performance against a background of fatigue or stress. The aim of the present study was to ascertain which mediators of stress response are significantly involved in the mechanisms of action of adaptogens, and to determine their relevance as biochemical markers for evaluating anti-stress eff...
متن کاملThe influence of Eleuterococcus senticosus on cellular and humoral immunological response of mice.
The influence of Eleuterococcus senticosus on cellular and humoral immune response was evaluated. The experiments were performed on animal models (Balb/c mice and F1 crossbreeds Balb/cxC3H). It was shown that Eleuterococcus has immunomodulatory properties. This substance enhanced the cellular response of the mouse immunological system (chemokinetic activity of mice spleen cells, GvH reaction). ...
متن کاملStimulating effect of adaptogens: an overview with particular reference to their efficacy following single dose administration.
Plant adaptogens are compounds that increase the ability of an organism to adapt to environmental factors and to avoid damage from such factors. The beneficial effects of multi-dose administration of adaptogens are mainly associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a part of the stress-system that is believed to play a primary role in the reactions of the body to repeated str...
