Table 2: Effect of EIF on leucocyte concentrations in Wistar rats. As compared to Control (C) rats, the Experimental (E) group has shown an increase in the Total Leucocyte Count (TLC), Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC), phagocytes such as polymorphs, monocytes and eosinophils and most remarkably the CD4 counts has increased to near about 4%. Values are mean ± S.E. of six rats.
