“…In previous studies, antibody production was elevated by administration of products of medicinal plants like Ocimum sanctum (Pavaraj et al 2011;Logambal et al 2000); Euphorbia hirta (Pratheepa & Sukumaran 2011); Achyranthes aspera (Chakrabarti et al 2014) etc. and compounds like β-glucan and LPS (Selvaraj et al 2006).…”

“…The elevation in the level of WBC and monocyte cells following fermentable fibre (Vitacel Ò ) administration can be considered as a sign of improved health and immune status of fish (Kumar et al 2005;Hoseinifar et al 2011) that monocyte cells cause this through lysozyme production (Fletcher & White 1976;Scheinecker et al 1995;Pratheepa & Sukumaran 2011). The serum lysozyme level or activity is an important index of non-specific immunity in fishes (Saurabh & Sahoo 2008).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary fermentable fibre (Vitacel®) on haemato‐immunological and serum biochemical parameters, intestinal histomorphology, growth performance and proximate body composition of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). One hundred and twenty fish (81.65 ± 1.49 g) were fed diets containing 0 and 10 g kg−1 fermentable fibre (Vitacel®) for 50 days. At the end of feeding trial, growth performance parameters were significantly improved in fermentable fibre (Vitacel®)‐fed fish. Although feeding on fermentable fibre (Vitacel®)‐supplemented diet had no remarkable effect on haematological parameters (RBC, Htc and Hb) (P > 0.05), white blood cell (WBC) count and monocyte level were significantly affected (P = 0.040 and P = 0.020, respectively). In case of serum biochemical parameters, a significant increase and decrease were observed in serum total protein (P = 0.040) and cholesterol level (P = 0.000), respectively. Also, lysozyme level was significantly increased following administration of Vitacel® in diet (P = 0.006). Histomorphological evaluations revealed that villus length (P = 0.004) and tunica muscularis thickness (P = 0.000) were significantly higher in fermentable fibre (Vitacel®)‐fed fish. These results indicate that fermentable fibre can be considered as a dietary supplement for improving the health status and performance of rainbow trout.

“…The 50 g/kg leaf extract of E. hirta enhanced the phagocytic ratio on the 10th and 15th day after infection. The findings will help the researchers for the discovery of significant aquaculture nutrients to improve its immunostimulant action on fish (Pratheepa and Sukumaran, 2011).…”

A bibliographic investigation was carried out by gathering and analyzing the recognized books, including Chinese herbal classic, the Internet (Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar), and scientific databases (Pubmed, Scifinder, Scopus, CNKI, ACS, and Web of Science) for available information on Euphorbia hirta. Whole plants of E. hirta have been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) due to its properties that can cure and detoxify fever, promote diuresis, stop itching, and induce prolactin. Traditional uses of E. hirta are also recorded in some other pan-tropical areas, where it has been used for over 10 types of diseases. A number of chemical constituents, including flavonoids, terpenoids and phenols, have been isolated and identified from E. hirta. Various biological evaluations have been reported for its importance. Modern pharmacological investigation demonstrated that its crude extracts and active compounds possesses wide pharmacological effects, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, sedative and anti-allergy. The current study summarizes the updated information concerning the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of E. hirta as well as its toxicology, and discusses the existing problem and future research direction of E. hirta.
