title: Vitamin E protects human leucocytes against toxic effects of lindan in vitro.
abstract: Vitamin E (15 micrograms/ml and 60 micrograms/ml) was used for protection of human leucocytes against toxic effects of lindan (150 microM and 200 microM) in vitro. The protective effect of vitamin E manifested itself as maintenance of the phagocytic activity of granulocytes, the value of nucleologram in lymphocytes, and the proportion of euchrysin-negative lymphocytes near the values in controls.
