Retinoid potentiation of chemically-induced hepatic damage: The involvement of tumor necrosis factor and endotoxin.

Administration of large doses of retinol (75 mg/kg/day) results in potentiation of carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic damage in rats. Further studies from our laboratory suggest that one of the primary mechanisms responsible for potentiation may involve the increased release of tumor necrosis fact...
