Eighteen healthy male mice were divided into three equal groups and given specific diets for a period of 28 days: Group M were fed a normal synthetic diet ( NSD ) and milk; Group P were fed NSD and P ueraria tuberosa ( PT ) extract (0.4%), while the diet of group PM was NSD supplemented with PT extract (0.4%) and milk. The phagocytic activity and immunoglobulin A (in intestines) and immunoglobulin G (serum) levels increased significantly in comparison with group M in PT supplemented groups after a period of 28 days. Group P and Group PM showed significantly higher reduced glutathione level and significantly lowered thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels in liver and red blood cells as compared to control.
