Abstract
Radiation protective effects of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum (Gp) were investigated in gamma-irradiated mice. Animals were sacrificed on days 5, 15, 25 and 35 after gamma-irradiation. GOT, GPT, serum IgG and leukocyte counts were measured. Proliferation of splenocytes stimulated by mitogens, such as PHA, Con A, and LPS were detected and compared. The results showed that all parameters measured in this study were decreased and proliferation of splenocytes stimulated by mitogens were repressed in gamma-irradiated mice. Gp helped to recover the decreased leukocyte counts, GOT, GPT and IgG in serum and the proliferation of splenocytes stimulated by PHA, LPS and Con A in the gamma-ray irradiated mice.
