Effects of nonylphenol on immunological function of mice

  Objective   To research the effects of nonylphenol on immunological function of mice.

  Methods   Twenty mice were equally divided into control group and experimental group.The control group was fed with water and the experimental group was fed with 1‰ nonylphenol for thirty days, then the changes of acid phosphatase(ACP)activity in peritoneal macrophage(PMΦ)and the engulfing function of PMΦwere detected.

  Results   Compared with control group, the ACP activity of PMΦdecreased in experimental group and the engulfing function of PMΦdecreased, too.

  Conclusion   Nonylphenol can inhibit immunological function in mice.
