Abstract
The effect of INAH on the protective functions of living bodies, mainly on those of leucocytes such as their migratory velocity, phagocytic activity on carbon particles, and on the functions of reticuloondotherial systems were investigated. The experiments were carried out with the hungry animals which had been uniformally fed under careful observation for a period of 3 weeks. As for the methods employed in the present experiments, Sugiyama's method was used for the determination of the migratory velocity of leucocytes by knowing the velocity per minutes of pseudoeosinophilic leucocytes. For the determination of their phagocytic activity, Tanabe's in vitro method was used by calculating the phagocytic activity of 200 pseudoeosinophilic leucocytes on carbon particles. The influence on reticuloendothcrial system was investigated by Adler and Reimann's congo-red method. The results obtained are as follows:
