the effects of chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of brassica rapa l. on cell-mediated immune response in mice

Authors
abstract

turnips with a long history of usage, are helpful in preventing breast and prostate cancer, inflammation and body`s immune system dysfunction. in this study, we investigated the effects of chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of brassica rapa l. on cell-mediated immune response in mice. chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of b. rapa glands were prepared by maceration method. to study the effects of b. rapa on acquired immunity, groups of balb/c mice (n=8) were used. sheep red blood cell (srbc) was injected (s.c., 1×10 8 cells/ml, 0.02 ml) and 5 days later, different extracts (10, 100 and 500 mg/kg), betamethasone (4 mg/kg) and levamisol (4 mg/kg) as a positive control and normal saline as a negative control were given i.p. after 1 h srbc was injected to footpad (s.c., 1×10 8 cells/ml, 0.02 ml) and footpad swelling was measured up to 72 h. to investigate the effects of b. rapa on innate immunity the same procedure was used, but animals only received one injection of srbc 1 h after i.p. injection of test compounds. our findings showed that srbc induced an increase in paw swelling with maximum response at 6-8 and 2-4 h for innate and acquired immunity, respectively. betamethasone inhibited and levamisol increased paw thickness in both models. in both innate and acquired immunity models, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of b. rapa glands significantly and dose-dependently reduced paw thickness. ethyl acetate extract showed better effect. as glucosinolates are better extracted by ethyl acetate, it may be concluded that they are contributed in the more pronounced effects of ethyl acetate extract.

the effects of methanolic and chloroformic extracts of allium fistulosum l. on cell-mediated immune response in mice

garlic and onions as dietary constituents and medicines have been used for many disorders which dates back to the early civilization. it has been shown that different species of allium have immunomodulating effects. in this study, we sought to determine if methanolic and chloroformic extracts of allim fistulosum l. (leek) have any effect on cell-mediated immune response in mice. methanolic and ...

The Effects of Allium hirtifolium Boiss. on Cell-Mediated Immune Response in Mice

Based on experiments showing immunomodulatory effects of garlic (Allium sativum L.), we sought to see whether Allium hirtifolim Boiss., belonging to the same genus of garlic, has any effect on immune responses. Hydroalcoholic extract and polyphenolic fraction of A. hirtifolium bulbs were prepared. Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate), a biologically active component, was identified in plant bulbs...
