Abstract

The immunostimulatory and host resistance effects of the Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC, changkil (CK) and inulin (CKI) isolated from CK were investigated in rats. SD rat were exposed to CK or CKI by gavages for 7days and isolated peritoneal macrophages and splenocyte were used for these studies. CK and CKI significantly enhanced peritoneal macrophages activities such as ROS production and phargocytosis. (omitted)
