Diabetes mellitus exerts many complications, irregular immune responses is more serious one which potentially increases infections. This work aimed to assess, the immunomodulatory effect of cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon without/with probiotics in type2 diabetic rat model (T2DRM). Seventy-two adult male, Wistar rats were assigned to nine groups. Eight rats were kept as healthy control. Sixty-four rats were used to induce T2DRM. One group was offered to 0.2 ml multi-strain probiotics orally. The rest of T2DRM were offered to 100 mg/kg aqueous extract of cardamom, ginger, or cinnamon without/with 0.2 ml multi-strain probiotics orally. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum insulin, and C-peptide were determined. Total leucocyte count (TLC), neutrophil (N%), lymphocyte (L%) were calculated. Spleen cellular viability%, phagocytic index (vitro, vivo) and glucose consumed with lymphocytes were estimated. Pancreatic tissue glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were assayed. INF-�, IL-5, and IL-17 cytokines were determined. Groups fed cardamom or ginger with probiotic showed significant (P<0.05) improvement in OGTT, serum insulin, spleen cellular viability%, phagocytic index (vitro, vivo) and glucose consumed with lymphocytes compared to T2DRM. Besides, they recorded significant amelioration in INF-� IL-5 and IL-17. Ginger without/with probiotic recorded significant increase (P<0.05) in TLC, L%, GSH-Px, SOD and CAT. Cardamom without/with probiotic exerted significant increase (P<0.05) in GSH-Px and CAT. The probiotic group showed significant increase (P<0.05) in GSH-Px. However, cinnamon had a moderate immunomodulatory effect. This study indicated that administration of ginger or cardamom with probiotics success to achieve immunomodulation of T2DRM through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
