Effect of the Modified Baoyuan Tang on Macrophage Phagocytosid in Restrained Stress Mice / 中国心理卫生杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effect of the modified Baoyuan Tang (BYT) with different doses on macrophage phagocytosis in restrained stress mice Method: 80 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups receiving different dose of BYT (stress only, 5g/kg, 10g/kg, 15g/kg) Using the intracellular phagocytosis in vivo to assess the phagocytosis ratio (Ph R) and phagocytosis index (Ph I) Result: The Ph R was highest in 10g/kg group The average of Ph I was also highest in 10g/kg group, but the difference between 10g/kg group and 5g/kg group had no statistic significance Conclusion:BTY 10g/kg has the best protective effect for decreased phagocytosis caused by restrained stress in mice
