Immunomodulating effect of salmozan injected at different times of the day was assessed by changes in 5-nucleotidase activity of mouse peritoneal macrophages. The effect of the hnmunomodulator correlates with the level of 5-nucleotidase activity in control anilnals. When this value was high in the control, it was decreased in experimental rats, and vice versa. The effect of the immunomodulator on the enzyme activity and on immune and neuroendocrine parameters is governed by the "mirror symmetry" principle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
