Effect of Shilajit on Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages

Abstract

The effect of processed shilajit (SJ‐P) was evaluated on murine peritoneal macrophages and on the cohabiting fibroblasts. The study revealed a dynamic aspect of modulation of the peritoneal cells by SJ‐P (200–600 mcg/mouse), when administered intraperitoneally. The findings further suggested that by carefully determining the dose, SJ‐P can be used in wound healing and in related inflammatory disease states. Copyright © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
