  • Title: [Effect of levamisole on changes in the of hepatic RES induced by chronic ethanol poisoning].
    Author: Andreana A, Galante D, Perna P, Adinolfi L, Ruggiero G.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1981 Apr 30; 57(8):887-90. PubMed ID: 7272062.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic RES is depressed in chronic alcholic intoxication and we have previously observed a significant reduction of killing of E.coli by the Kupffer cells of the isolated rat liver. In the present study rats treated with ethanol for 3 weeks, were given levamisole and then the clearance of E. coli, by the isolated liver, was followed. Levamisole 10mg/kg i.p. for 3 days, restored the depression of intracellular killing induced by ethanol. At the dosage of 2,5 mg/kg of levamisole this effect was not present. Changes of humoral factors were not involved in the phenomenon because sera from untreated anaimals were present in the perfusate for all sets of experiments.
