Konjac Glucomannan from Amorphophallus konjac enhances immunocompetence of the cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice. [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2021 AbstractThis present study was designed to evaluate the immunomodulatory activity of Konjac glucomannan (KGM) on immunosuppressed mice induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX) treatment. The mice immunodeficiency model was established by CTX. KGM was used to modulate the activities of immunosuppressive mice.
