title: [The anti-inflammatory activity of intal and beta-carotene in a model of experimental granulomatous lung inflammation].
abstract: A-25 sephadex-induced granulomatous inflammation of the lungs in rats was treated with beta-carotene and intal in inhalations. Both drugs showed antiinflammatory activity reducing the area of alveolitis and emphysema in the lungs, number of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the bronchoalveolar fluid. The experimental data allow to recommend further trial of intal and beta-carotene in granulomatous pulmonary diseases.
