[Effect of ethyl acetate extract of Eclipta prostrata on mice of normal and immunosupression].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

The regulatory effects of ethyl acetate extract of Eclipta prostrata (EAEEP) on immune function were studied.

METHODS:

The experimental immunosuppressive mice models were induced by injection of cyclophosphamide or hydrocartisone.

RESULTS:

The index of spleen in normal mice were decreased significantly. So was the level of hemolysin in serum, Delayed trpe hypersensitivity was also inhibited at the same condition. But EAEEP can increase all these indexes in immunosuppressive mice.

CONCLUSION:

EAEEP possesses obvious regulatory action on immune function in mice.
