Beneficial effects of an aqueous ginger extract on the immune system cells and antibodies, hematology, and thyroid hormones in male smokers and non-smokers
2019, Journal of Nutrition and Intermediary MetabolismCitation Excerpt :As for non-smokers, mean IgG levels were not significantly different before and after extract consumption while the mean IgM level after extract consumption (2.19 ± 1.05) increased highly significantly (P = 0.000) compared to before extract consumption (1.41 ± 0.99). These results are in disagreement with the findings of other studies of significantly lower IgG levels [34–37] and increased IgG and IgM levels [38] in cigarette smokers compared to non-smokers. Research work done on healthy fish and sows administered ginger extract showed increased IgM [39], and IgG concentrations [40], which may suggest an enhanced immune system.
Determination of lymphocyte subset reference ranges in peripheral blood of healthy adults by a dual-platform flow cytometry method
2015, Immunology LettersCitation Excerpt :Samples that had clots, hemolysis, or positive serologic test results (HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HCV, anti-HTLV-I/II, syphilis, HIV-I/II antigen, and Trypanosoma cruzi antibody) were excluded from the study. Previous studies had shown that smokers have a significant alteration in some lymphocyte subset counts [6,24–27], consequently, smokers were not included in this research. Samples were processed by a dual-platform method [8] that used the flow cytometer FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences, USA) for relative value counts and the Sysmex XE-2100D (Sysmex Corporation, Japan) hematology cell analyzer to enumerate absolute lymphocyte counts.
