Abstract
We studied the effect of stevia leaf extract, saccharinate and cyclamate in various dosages on the glycogen content of blood leukocytes in mice, as a necessary substrate for the realization of phagocytosis. An increase of glycogen content was found in all experimental groups which obtained sweeteners at a dosage of 10 mg/g of body weight. The effect of sweeteners on the differential leukocyte counts was found only for mice treated with stevia leaf extract at a dosage of 10 mg/g of body weight. They demonstrated increase of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. New data expand our understanding of the metabolism of sugar substitutes in the organism and their effect on physiological systems, in particular the hematopoietic and immune systems.
