  • Title: [Effect of hydrocortisone on clearance of inert colloid from blood by reticuloendothelial cells].
    Author: Maianskiĭ DN, Voronina NP.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1984 Apr; 97(4):408-10. PubMed ID: 6722298.
    Abstract:
    The authors studied the effect of hydrocortisone (125 mg/kg) on blood clearance of colloidal carbon in vivo in adult female rats weighing 240-280 g. Administration of the hormone caused the depression of reticuloendothelial absorption function 2, 24 and 48 h after hormonal stimulation. The depression of the absorption ability was accompanied by a decrease in phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells, the major compartment of the reticuloendothelial system. No changes were recorded in the absorption ability of the reticuloendothelial cells after daily administration of hydrocortisone in a single dose of 12.5 mg/kg for 1, 2 and 3 weeks.
