0.05).Conclusion:The lymphoid tissues can not only express the ACTH-R?5-HT_ 1A-R protein but also synthesize their mRNA.ACTH and 5-HT can regulate the functions of the immune system through their receptors on the membrane of the immunocytes.
ABSTRACT
It was reported that immuno-regulatory mechanism of Ginsenoside on NK cell activity through pituitary-adrenal axis in operation stressed mice. Ginsenoside could modulate NK cell activity in mice against stress. On the other hand the level of plasma ACTH, corticosterone and the splenocyte ACTHR increased in stressed mice, as we know that ACTH, corticosterone could inhibite immunocyte function. However, Ginsenoside decreased the level of ACTH and corticosterone. This result suggests that the regulation effect of Ginsenoside on NK cell activity may be related to the action of pi tui taryadrenal axis under stress conditions.
