Changes in function and kinetics of macrophages and lymphocytes caused by retinoic acid

Effect of isobutyl ester of retinoic acid on the cellular composition of bronchoalveolar lavage and on the mitotic activity of alveolar monocyte-macrophages in rats

“…Our attention was drawn to retinoids, which participate in the regulatory processes of proliferation, differentiation, and functioning of various cells, including the lungs [2]. Retinoids exhibit anticarcinogenic and immunomodulating properties and have the ability to suppress tumor growth [2][3][4]. A deficiency of vitarnin A may induce bronchitis in ammals, bronchopneumonia in children, and differential disturbances of the bronchial epithelium and the ap- pearance of bronchoectasis and atelectasis in adults [10].…”
