Immunity-boosting effect in mice that have ingested EF-2001 in a state of lowered resistance
Mice were administered feed containing 10% EF-2001 for a two-week period. They were then administered immunosuppressant cyclophosphamide (CY) to put them into a state of lowered resistance, followed by an injection of E. coli from the tail vein. The number of bacteria in the liver was measured over time.
※P < 0.05 P < 0.01
The EF-2001 group showed markedly fewer E. coli bacteria in the liver than the control group, indicating a non-specific immunity-boosting effect.
