Ocena wpływu substancji biologicznie aktywnych Eleuterococcus senticosus Maxim. na odporność komórkową i wydolność fizyczną człowieka

Jarosław Szołomicki, *Leonidas Samochowiec

Summary
Two preparations with expected adaptogenic activity: ethanol extract from the root of Eleuterococcus senticosus Maxim. contained in Taiga Wurzel (Dr. Mewes Heilmittel) and ethanol extract from Echinacea (Madaus) were tested.
The tests were performed in healthy volunteers (men). They received both preparations in dosage 25 drops three times daily and respectively 40 drops three times daily, befor meals for 30 days.
After this time blood was drawn for determination of haematological and biochemical values. Also were performed tests on cellular defence. The study has established that the evidently adaptogenic activity showed only Taiga Wurzel. It caused the reduction of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride, also it increased the aerobic metabolism of tissues, improved oxygen consumption during effort and increased the cellular immunity by increasing the rate of blastic transformation of lymphocytes in the presence of mitogen. Also the phagocytic activity of neutrophiles were improved.
