Abstract:
Objective To find out the best administration route of collagen peptides to improve the immune functions of mice.
Methods Mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: intragastric administration group and intraperitoneal injection group. Then, the two groups were respectively divided into 5 subgroups: control group, model group and 100, 300, 600 mg collagen peptides groups, 6 mice in each group. Immunosuppression were induced in mice of model groups and collagen peptides groups with glucocorticoid. Mice in collagen peptides groups of intragastric administration group and intraperitoneal injection group were respectively intragastrically and intraperitoneally administrated 100, 300, 600 mg collagen peptides per kilogram by for 7 days. The mice were killed on the tenth days. Thymus and spleen indexes, white cells count and classification, the ratios of CD4 to CD8 and T lymphocyte proliferations of spleens were respectively analyzed.
Results Compared with control group, the spleen indexes, numbers and percentages of leukocytes and percentages of lymphocytes and ratios of CD4+ to CD8+ were improved in mice after intraperitoneally administrated with different dose of collagen peptides from low or middle dose (P<0.05) and were not significantly different with control group (P>0.05). The above parameters except spleen indexes were improved in mice of 600 mg collagen peptides groups after intragastric administration (P<0.05), but they were still significantly different with control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection is superior to intragastric administration with collagen peptides in improvements of the immune functions in immunosuppressed mice.
