[Immunomodulating, antioxidant and hepatoprotective action of the phytopreparation lochein]

Lochein is a water soluble extract from Siberian plants of the family Chenopodiaceae. It was shown to stimulate the immune response to the T-dependent antigen in healthy animals and in animals exposed to hepatotropic poison. Lochein induced secretion of immunostimulating factors by the glass adherent and nonadherent spleen cells. Supernatants of the glass adherent spleen cells contained compounds with antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties.
