The chronic hepatitis in Wistar rats was induced by seven subcutaneous injections of carbon tetrachloride (0.3 ml of 50% oil solution per 1 kg of body mass) made each third day. It was shown that cytochromes P-450 and b5 content, demethylase activity in the liver microsomal fraction as well as the oxygen tension in the liver tissue were decreased, while lipid peroxidation was intensified. The PHA-induced blood lymphocyte blastogenesis was inhibited and concentration of circulating immune complexes in the blood was higher than that in intact animals.
