Effect of Labisia pumila (Kacip Fatimah) on stress induced changes in leukocyte count and organ weight of albino rats

The extract of Labisia Pumila was screened for its effects on stress induced changes in leukocyte count and organ weight of albino rats (Wistar strain). The total leukocyte count in rats was significantly reduced after exposure to noise stress. The neutrophil percentage was increased significantl...
