immunostimulator/zea mays

Genomic DNA sequences (bacteria, insect, nematodes and molluscs) or synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG-DNA/ODN) are regarded as promising candidates for new medical adjuvants for their ability to stimulate the mammalian immune system and enhance immune

Grifola frondosa strain GF3, was cultivated on solid-state substrate consisting of milled whole corn plant (Zea mays) and olive press cake supplemented with mineral additives and olive oil.

It has been reported that red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP), isolated from Korean red ginseng, displays immunostimulatory and anti-tumor activities. In a follow-up study, we have carried out a study on the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of RGAP using hyperlipidemic rats acutely induced by Triton

The effect of 200 micrograms doses of all-trans retinoic acid, given over a long duration (daily for 8 weeks, suspended for 3 weeks, then resumed daily for 4 weeks) or short duration (daily for 30 days), on the induction of fibrosarcomas in C57BL/6J mice by MCA was evaluated. A reduced level of
