This investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of whole colocynth fruit, teucrium whole plant and mixture of both on male diabetic rats to raise immunity. Thirty (30) adult male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups. Group (1): Normal rats fed on basal diet as control negative (C-), Group (2): Control positive (C+) (untreated group). Group (3): Diabetic rats fed on basal diet and colocynth (5%).Group (4): Diabetic rats fed on basal diet and teucrium (5%). Group (5): Diabetic rats fed on basal diet and mixture of both dried plants (5%). At the end of experiment, after 28 days of feeding, all serum samples were analyzed for biochemical parameters. Injection with alloxan caused a significant decrease in the level of Hb, Ht, RBC, WBC, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinphils and Basophils while a significant increase was recorded in organs weight and Plt while changes of histopathological structure of liver and kidney occamed .Diabetic rats treated with various diets, the results showed the improvement in all previous parameters. Teurium diet strengthened immune than coloynth diet and the Mix diet was the best.
