The Effect of Ethanol Extract of Moringa Leaf (Moringa oleifera Lam) Against the Activity and Capacity of Phagocytosis of Macrofag Cells and the Percentage of Leukosit Cells of White Mice

Aim: This study aims to determine the activity, capacity of macrophage phagocytosis, and percentage leukocyte cells male mice treated with ethanol extract moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam). Methods: Twenty were divided into four equal groups. The was administered orally for seven days at a dose 10; 30; 100 mg/kg; 0.5% CMC Na suspension as negative control. On 8th day, blood cell leukocytes in tail calculated using microscope. Suspension Staphylococcus aureus injected intraperitoneally. peritoneal fluid taken figure activity phagocytosis. are data statistically analyzed by one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) method Duncan test. Results: results showed that giving oral Moringa on could increase capacity, increasing dose, number, increased. highest achieved mg/kg. leaf can also banded neutrophil, lymphocytes, eosinophil decrease neutrophil segments monocytes from white mice. eosinophils, reductions segments, present doses Conclusion: From result, it conclude ethaol Leaf macrophages neutrophils.
