}The experiments on Wistar rats showed that beta-carotene and retinol acetate decreased the level of the biochemical signs of the hepatocyte injury and lowered or abolished the immunosuppressive effect induced by D-galactosamine. The hepatoprotective and immunomodulating effects of beta-carotene were higher. D-Galactosamine induced the development of the immunosuppressing properties in light erythrocytes and retinol acetate induced the development of the immunostimulating properties in heavy… CONTINUE READING
