  1. The splenic and thymic indices in (A) normal and (B) immunosuppressed mice. GRC-ON89A was administered daily from day 1 to 19. The control group mice were treated with D.W. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n > 10). Data were analyzed using the student t-test or One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s t-test (** = p < 0.01, * = p < 0.05 vs control-CY group)
