Abstract excerpt

AIMS OF STUDY: The habit of khat chewing has been associated with increased risk of systemic and oral disease. Although research has been conducted on the affects of khat on oral epithelial cells, little is known about its influence on immune cells. This study examined the biological effects of khat on the phenotype and function of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Khat-stimulated...
