Abstract
The immune system is a network of cells, tissues , and organs that
work together to defend the body against attacks by “foreign” invaders.
These are primarily microbes (germs)-tiny, infection-causing organisms
such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Because the human body
provides an ideal environment for many microbes, they try to break in. It is
the immune system’s job to keep them out or, failing that, to seek out and
destroy them. When the immune system hits the wrong target or is
crippled, however, it can unleash a torrent of diseases, including allergy,
arthritis, or AIDS. The main objective of this study is to study the effect of
supplemented crackers with some plants and seeds on the healthy status of
rats, using Twenty five adult male albino rats, weighting 90-95 g were
divided into five groups.
Licorice is one of the most widely prescribed herbs in Chinese
medicine. It is used to treat gastric ulcers when administered 20 to 30
minutes before meals through lining the stomach wall. The processed form
of licorice (DGL) is not associated with adverse effects and can be used to
treat peptic ulcer disease in combination with antacids (this combination
has been marketed as Caved-S). However, licorice is rarely used nowadays
because of its side effects and the emergence of other more powerful
classes of medications for treatment of peptic ulcers. In Japan, glycyrrhizin
has been given intravenously for treatment of patients with chronic
hepatitis B with improvement in liver functions and occasionally complete
recovery. It was suggested that glycyrrhizin is able to suppress the
secretion of both hepatitis B surface antigen and its intracellular transport.
