Lymph flow and contractile activity of mesenteric lymph nodes in rats with toxic hepatitis effects of antioxidants.

We studied contractile function of isolated mesenteric lymph nodes in rats with toxic hepatitis. We observed suppression of spontaneous and stimulated contractile activity of mesenteric lymph nodes and changes in biochemical composition of the lymph. We propose a method of correction of these dysfunctions with antioxidant α-tocopherol and Selen-Active.
