Abstract

The immune system, a complex network of cells and chemicals, protects the body from foreign antigens. Zingerone offers significant benefits like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects. Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, shields crucial biomolecules like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. against oxidative damage. Forty rats were classified into control, Zingerone, vitamin C and Zingerone + vitamin C treated groups. Hematological, biochemical, gene expression, histological and Immunohistochemical investigation were used in the evaluation of both substances on the immune system. Zingerone and Vitamin C have demonstrated potential synergistic effects on blood parameters and immune function. Their antioxidant action may enhance erythropoiesis and protect against oxidative stress, while their influence on leukocyte populations could improve immune defense and regulate inflammation as well as modulate cytokine levels and surge CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes.  in conclusion These findings point to the complex interplay of dietary components in immune health and warrant further investigation for therapeutic potential.
