چکیده
This study was undertaken to investigate the in vivo phagocytic activity and clearancerates of Telfairia occidentalis plant additive using carbon clearance assay. Wistaralbino rats were used this study. The injected with ink through thetail vein while blood samples collected at intervals though orbital usingcapillary tubes. results showed that T. occidentals leaves had ability tosignificantly (p<0.05) stimulate phagocytes reticuloendothelial system byenhancing phagocytosis thereby clearing from theanimals faster than control group.

Studies of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). II. Changes in the phagocytic capacity of the RES in patients with certain infections.
In our previous communication (1), we have presented data indicating that the phagocytic capacity of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) can be determined by measuring the rate of disappearance of various doses of radioisotopically labeled aggregated albumin particles from the circulation. Since our results followed the mathematical model suggested first by Michaelis and Menten in their studie...

In 1884, Metchnikoff (1) presented his studies of phagocytosis and concluded that the process was a general reaction that removed particulate matter from the circulation. Highly mobile cells, the polymorphonuclear leukocytes, were observed to ingest microorganisms and other particulate matter, such as pus, corpuscular elements of extravasated blood, and foreign cells. In addition to these circu...

The nutrient contents of a widely-consumed leafy vegetable produce – Telfairia occidentalis using poultry manure (PM) and mineral fertilizer (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-NPK) application were evaluated for comparison. PM at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 tonnes) and a standard rate of 90kg NPK per hectare was applied. Leaves were harvested for immediate analyses at 15 weeks after planting ...
