ABSTRACT
Aims
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Portulaca oleracea extract on
electrophoretic pattern of blood protein in mice.
Materials & Methods In this experimental study, to investigate the effects of extract of Purslane on the blood protein levels in mice, 40 adult mice of Balb/C were selected and divided randomly into five groups of eight which were used for 20 days during the experiment. The groups included control and placebo, and three experimental groups receiving Hydro-alcoholic extract of Purslane were prepared in 50,100 and 200 mg/kg/doses of body weight. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were obtained from all mice and the immune system proteins and total protein levels were measured. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan.
Findings A significant decrease in albumin concentration at 50mg/kg could be seen. The highest amount of total protein and concentration of alpha-2 belonged to the group of 100mg/kg extract dose.
Conclusion It seems that Purslane extract without antigenic stimulation could strengthen the immune system.
