Abstract

Objective : The aim is to identify the effects of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch on immunocyte and cytokine production in asthmatic laboratory mice. This experiment was designed to investigate the antiallergic and antiinflamatary the effects of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch on asthma. Materials and Methods : We measured the eosinophil, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, $IFN-{\gamma}$, CD4, CDS, CD69, CCR3, CD11b, Gr-1 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of ovalbumin induced asthmatic mice. Results : Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch increased the proliferation of eosinophils, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IgE, granulocyte, CCR3, CD4, IgE, CD69. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch increased the proliferation of $IFN-{\gamma}$. Conclusion : Results suggest that Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch extract is useful in treatment and prevention allergic asthma.
