Popis: In order to investigate the effects of some dietary phytoderivates (Origanum vulgare L. and Rosmarinus officinalis L.) on rabbit immune system, 100 New Zealand mixed-sex rabbits weaned at 30 days of age were split into homogeneous groups submitted to the following dietary treatments: 1) Standard diet (C); 2) C +150 ppm Vit E (E); 3) C +0.2% oregano (O); 4) C +0.2% rosemary (R) and 5) C +0.1% oregano + 0.1% rosemary (OR). Blood samples were drawn from rabbits at 30 and 90 days of age (ten rabbits/diet group at Time 0 and 1, respectively) to investigate the blood lymphocyte subset evolution, the in vitrolymphocyte proliferation (in presence or absence of mitogens) responses and the Immunoglobulin M(IgM) concentration in the supernatants of lymphocyte cultures. A diet effect was observed in the O and OR groups, where the lymphocytes proliferation responses to pokeweed mitogen (PWM; ***P
