Amelioration effects of Kaempferol on immune response following chronic intermittent cold-stress

摘要

Cold-stress causes disturbance of the homeostatic regulation of animals, and gradually impairs the immune and antioxidant functions of animals. Therefore, increasing the effectiveness of the immune response and antioxidant function are the most attractive strategies against cold-stress. Kaempferol (KPF) exerts both an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pharmacological effect. However, nor much is known of the effects of KPF on providing protection from cold-induced intestinal oxidative damage and improving immunity. This study investigated the effects of KPF on immune factors and intestinal antioxidation in the blood of cold-stressed mice.
