Hepatic function during reticulo-endothelial hyperfunction and hyperplasia

ABSTRACT THE cell wall preparation from _Saccharomyces cerevisiae_, designated as zymosan, has been reported to possess a variety of biological activities which include the ability, in as

yet an undefined manner, to induce an increase in the functional activity of reticulo-endothelial cells1–4. The hyperphagocytic state was associated with pronounced hypertrophy of organs

containing predominantly reticulo-endothelial cells4,5. Based on the incorporation of tritium-labelled thymidine into hepatic DNA following a single injection of zymosan, the hyperplasia was

observed to be the result of a specific reticulo-endothelial or littoral cell proliferation2. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
