The effect of linseed oil on immune function
The content of α-linolenic acid in linseed oil is as high as 40%, and it is also rich in nutrients such as vitamin E and sterols. Studies have shown that linolenic acid has significant effects in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other diseases. Animal experiments have shown that in the case of extreme or long-term lack of linolenic acid in the diet, a series of symptoms such as visual disturbance will occur. Therefore, the linseed oil rich in linolenic acid is known as the “deep sea fish oil” of the plant kingdom and has a good Market development prospects.
At present, some developed countries have developed health foods with linolenic acid as the main raw material, and our country is still in the stage of research on the preparation process and nutritional components of linseed oil.
This article uses mice as the research object, according to the "Technical Specifications for Health Food Inspection and Evaluation" (Ministry of Health 2003 Edition), using carbon clearance test, delayed type allergy, antibody-producing cell test, macrophage phagocytosis of chicken red blood cell test, lymphocyte Methods such as transformation test and NK cell activity determination are used to study and analyze the effects of linseed oil on mice immunity, provide scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization and development of linseed oil, and provide reference for the development of functional health foods.
After 30-day gavage test, compared with the control group, the weight, thymus index, spleen index, serum hemolysin level, carbon clearance ability, and peritoneal macrophages of mice in the high, medium and low dose groups of linseed oil The phagocytic rate and phagocytic index of chicken erythrocytes by cells were not statistically significant (P>0.05), while the medium-dose and high-dose linseed oil groups could significantly enhance the proliferation ability of mouse splenic lymphocytes induced by ConA and the small amount induced by DNFB. Delayed-type allergy in mice can significantly enhance the activity of NK cells in mice.
According to the "Technical Specification for Health Food Inspection and Evaluation" (Ministry of Health 2003), linseed oil can enhance the immune function of mice, and linseed oil can be used in the development and application of functional products such as food and health food to improve immunity.
