Effect of Ethanolic Extract of Leaf of Piper Betle Linn as Immunomodulatory Agent: A Unique Role of Phytochemicals.
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Biochemical and immunological effect of leaf of Piper betle Linn in rat were studied. Objective: To evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of leaf of Piper betle Linn. Methods: Ethanolic EXTRACT OF LEAF OF Piper betle Linn were administered at doses of 150 and 250 mg/kg body weight for 30 days in wistar albino rats. Immunomodulatory changes and biochemical correlations were investigated. Results: Ethanolic extract of leaf of Piper betle I Linn showed increased antibody production in a dose dependent manner. It enhances the production of RBC, WBC and HB. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of leaf of Piper betle Linn has positive immunomodulatory activities.
