Abstract: The extracts of Bambusa arundinacea have been used in Indian folk medicine in ptosis and paralytic complaints. Ptosis is one of the symptoms of myasthenia gravis, which is an autoimmune disease. The immunosuppressant effect of Methanol extract of the leaves of Bambusa arundinacea on relative weights of Thymus, Lymphnodes and Spleen and also on gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (γGT) activity have been studied in male albino rats and found to be significant when compared to the standard drug.
