Abstract
Protein intake is crucial for white blood cell (WBC) formation and immune regulation. Goat milk yogurt enriched with mung bean extract, providing additional amino acids, may influence WBC levels, including monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. This study examined the impact of different yogurt doses on these WBC levels in male Wistar rats. A total of 24 rats were randomly assigned to four groups: P0 (control, no yogurt), P1 (3.6 mL/kg body weight), P2 (7.2 mL/kg body weight), and P3 (10.8 mL/kg body weight). Rats were treated for 21 days, and blood samples were collected on day 22 for analysis. The results showed a significant increase in neutrophil, monocyte, and basophil counts in the yogurt-treated groups compared to the control. No significant differences were observed in lymphocyte and eosinophil counts. The findings suggest that goat milk yogurt enriched with mung bean extract may enhance immunity.
