title: [The influence of vitamin A on production of oxygen free radicals and activity of granulocyte catalase in patients with chronic bronchitis].
abstract: The effect of vitamin A on granulocyte chemiluminescence (CT) and catalase activity was studied in 16 patients with COPD. The results obtained show a significant decrease of CL and a significant increase of granulocyte CT activity after incubation with vitamin A, particularly in nonsmoking subjects. This study showed a significant decrease of CT activity after incubation of granulocyte with hydralazine both in cigarette smokers or nonsmokers.
