As an important part of the immune system, lymphocytes play an extremely important role in the immune response of the body, and many diseases will affect the function of lymph nodes. Generally speaking, T and B lymphocytes do not play an independent role in the immune process, but often cooperate with each other to kill invasive substances or foreign bodies produced by their own reactions. Ginsenoside Rh2 can significantly promote the proliferation of B lymphocytes, thus playing a role in enhancing immunity.
NK cells are natural killer cells, which directly kill target foreign bodies and participate in nonspecific immunity without antigen stimulation, antibody participation and complement assistance. Activated NK cells can release cytokines such as interleukin and interferon, and participate in immune killing and clearance. Ginsenoside Rh2 can enhance the activity of NK cells, thus enhancing non-specific immunity, and to a certain extent, the higher the concentration of Rh2, the stronger the activity of NK cells.
Macrophages are other important immune cells except lymphocytes and NK cells in the immune system. They can directly devour foreign bodies and aging cells and secrete cytokines such as interleukin, thus playing an antiviral role. IL- 1 is a kind of interleukin, which has a direct cytotoxic effect on invasive bacteria or abnormal cells, inhibits the proliferation of these cells, activates NK cells, and dissolves these cells in cooperation with other lymphatic factor. Ginsenoside Rh2 can improve the phagocytosis of macrophages and increase the secretion of cytokines such as IL- 1, thus enhancing immunity and resisting virus.
The immune enhancement function of ginsenoside Rh2 is not limited to enhancing immunity. Studies have found that it also has a good curative effect on immune system diseases caused by hypersplenism. In this case, ginsenoside Rh2 can reduce excessive immune cells and restore the immune system to normal by regulating the immune balance. Therefore, ginsenoside Rh2 has a bidirectional regulating effect on the immune system. Therefore, insisting on eating will definitely have a good effect on improving human immunity.
