title: Effect of ivermectin on function of liver macrophages.
abstract: Ivermectin had no effect on phagocytic function of liver macrophages, but blocked LPS-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factor, NO, prostaglandin E2, and increase of intracellular concentration of Ca2+. These inhibitory effects were observed only in the presence of chlorine ions in the extracellular medium, which attested to involvement of glycine-dependent chlorine channels.
