|
| Abstract |
Achyranthes aspera prevents infectious disease in cattle by developing immunity system: It has effect on foetal abortion, uterine and pituitary weights, serum lipids and hormones (Workineh S. et. al. (2006); Afr Health Sci.; 6(2): 108–112). The immunostimulatory activity found in mice treated with S. aromaticum essential oil was observed due to improvement in humor- and cell-mediated immune response mechanisms (Carrascco et. al (2009); J Pharm Pharmacol; 61(7): 961-967). |
