Interferone sind Proteine, die in Vertebraten eine unspezifische, nicht-immunologische Abwehrreaktion gegen Virusinfektionen hervorrufen. Die Bildung von Interferon wird in vivo und in vitro durch Viren und andere Agentien, z . B. Endptoxin, Nucleinsauren, synthetische anionische Copolymere und Phytohamagglutinin, induziert. Es ist bisher nicht gelungen, reines Interferon darzustellen. Seine antivirale Wirkung kann sich nur entfalten, wenn die zellulare RNA-und Proteinsynthese intakt ist.

Interferons are proteins which bring about a nonspecific and nonimmunological defence reaction against virus infections in vertebrates. Interferon formation is induced in vivo and in vitro by viruses and other agents, e.g. endotoxins, nucleic acids, synthetic anionic copolymers, and phytohemagglutinins. All attempts to produce pure interferons have so far been unsuccessful. Interferons can only exert an antiviral action when the cellular RNA and protein synthesis is intact.

The present study was undertaken to put forward the scientific evidences of wheatgrass as an alternative therapy to treat Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA). Anaemia is a haematological condition in which, there is quantitative deficiency of circulating haemoglobin, often accompanied by a reduced number of red blood cells. Further, causes of anaemia are blood loss, impaired erythropoiesis and abnormal erythrocyte destruction. Nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid) are the most common cause of anaemia throughout the world. One ounce of wheatgrass contains 120 calories, 8 grams of dietary fiber, 240% of the RDA of vitamin A, 93% of the RDA of vitamin C, 356% of the RDA of iron, 12% of the RDA of calcium, 8 grams of protein. And it also contains 98 of 102% earth elements found in soil, including phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium as well as essential enzymes and 19 amino acids. Wheatgrass is also overflowing with vitamins, and minerals. Many studies shown that wheatgrass juice, dried powder positive results in treating of IDA, Cancer, Thalassemia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, inflammatory conditions, Diabetes, obesity so on.
