[Effect of Kupffer cell blockade on the development of acute toxic hepatitis].

The blockade of Kupffer cells was induced in Wistar rats by intravenous injection of colloid iron, brand P-100 phi, in a 5% starch followed after two hours by subcutaneous administration of 0.2 ml of 40% CCl per 100 g body weight. During the blockade of course of CCl4-induced acute hepatitis was significantly modified that was shown by the tendency to scattering of hepatocyte injury and by delayed liver tissue recovery.
