Immunomodulatory Activity of Cod Liver Oil

immunomodulatory activity of cod liver oil

the immunomodulatory activity of cod liver oil (clo) was evaluated by mice lethality test, carbon clearance assay, neutrophil adhesion test, cyclophosphamide-induced neutropenia, indirect haemagglutination test and effect on serum immunoglobulin levels. clo was administered orally at a dose of 0.5 g/kg or 1 g/kg body weight. in mice lethality test, low dose of clo (0.5 g/kg, po) produced 40% de...

Antiseptic Properties of Raw Cod-Liver Oil

Chemistry and immunomodulatory activity of frankincense oil.

The yield of steam distillation of frankincense essential oil (3%); and its physicochemical constants were determined. Capillary GC/MS technique was used for the analysis of the oil. Several oil components were identified based upon comparison of their mass spectral data with those of reference compounds published in literature or stored in a computer library. The oil was found to contain monot...
