ABSTRACT
The in vivo influence of radix Eleutherococcus and fructus Schizandrae combined extracts on blood phagocytes and lysozyme activity in females of pigs was studied. Feeding pig females for 7 days with Immunostim Plus (combined extract), 300 mg per day, increased the respiratory burst of blood phagocytes measured by colorimetric assay (RBA) and potential killing activity of blood phagocytes determined by colorimetric assay (PKA). Also the Immunostim Plus increased the lysozyme activity in serum measured by turbidimetric assay.
