Table 1 Effects of concentrated liquor from male zooid of A. pernyi on cellular immune function of mice (mean±SD)

Group	Dosage (mg/kg)	Animal (n)	FSR (mm)
			24 h	48 h
Control	dH2O	10	0.66 ± 0.25b	0.20 ± 0.16d
Low-dosage	0.564	10	1.22 ± 0.28	0.61 ± 0.26
			< 0.01	< 0.01
Medium-dosage	2.62	10	1.24 ± 0.23	0.61 ± 0.19
			< 0.01	< 0.01
High-dosage	16.53	9	1.45 ± 0.25	0.66 ± 0.26
			< 0.01	< 0.01

^bP < 0.01, FSR (mm) of control group vs that of high-, medium- and low-dosage groups at 24 h respectively.

^dP < 0.01, FSR (mm) of control group vs that of high-, medium- and low-dosage groups at 48 h respectively.
