Abstract

Introduction: Saffron (crocus sativus L.), an important spice rich in carotenoids, is used in folk medicine to treat numerous diseases. This study examines the effects of saffron consumption on innate and HUMORAL IMMUNITY of healthy MALE STUDENTs.Materials and Methods: 41 healthy volunteered university students in two control and case groups were included in this study and consumed respectively milk and milk containing saffron for 6 weeks. Blood samples were collected from the subjects at weeks 0, 3 and 6. Innate immunity was evaluated by determining the percentage and counts of monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, platelets and the total white cells, CRP concentration and C3 and C4 concentrations and HUMORAL IMMUNITY was assessed by deterning the percentage of lymphocytes and the concentrations of IgG, IgM and IgA.Results: Three weeks after saffron consumption, monocytes percentage and IgG concentration increased significantly (P<0.05, P=0.01). Total white blood cells and platelets count also reduced significantly (P <0.05). After 6 weeks, monocytes percentage and IgG concentration reduced significantly (P<0.05, P< 0.001) and platelets count increased significantly (P<0.05) as compared with week 3.Conclusion: This investigation demonstrated that saffron consumption enhances innate and HUMORAL IMMUNITY systems and has anti-inflammatory effects. These effects depending on the duration of saffron consumption.
