Protective Action of Sulfanilamide Against Liver Cirrhosis from Chronic Poisoning with Carbon Tetrachloride.

Summary Administration of sulfanila-mide to rats retards the development of liver cirrhosis from chronic poisoning with carbon tetrachloride. A number of vitamins and amino acids were tested for possible protective action in acute poisoning experiments, but none was found to increase the animal's tolerance. Administration of para-amino-benzoic acid did not inhibit the protective action of sulfanilamide against acute poisoning by carbon tetrachloride.
