The aim of this work was to study the in vitro stimulatory activity of aquaeous and hydro-alcoholic extracts of under-ground parts of Rhodiola kirilowii in blood leukocyte cultures of pigs. Both extracts in concentration up to 10 µg/ml stimulated granulocyte potential killing (PKA) activity. In higher concentrations the suppression of this reaction was seen. %A Wójcik, Roman %A Siwicki, Andrzej K. %A Skopińska-Różewska, Ewa %A Buchwald, Waldemar %A Furmanowa, Mirosława %P 158-161 %9 journal article %U https://www.termedia.pl/Experimental-immunology-The-in-vitro-influence-of-Rhodiola-kirilowii-extracts-on-blood-granulocytes-potential-killing-activity-PKA-in-pigs,10,13188,1,1.html
