Abstract:
The peripheral blood T- lymphocyte percentage, lympocyte percentage in white blood cell (WBC) of mice in heat environment (45C, 15 min) were diminished, and serum corticosterone increased. Ginseng root saponins (GRS) 50, 100 mg/kg were administered ip at 15 min before the heat-stress, the suppression of peripheral blood T-lymphocyte percentage were prevented, but could not inhibit the increase ofserum corticosterone. GRS 50mg?kg-1ip could inhibit the redution of peripheral lymphocyte percentage. GRS 50mg?kg-1 ,reserpine 0.5mg? kg-1or physostigmine salicylate 0.3 mg?kg-1ip abolished the inhibiting effect of heat-stress on DTH reaction in mice.
