factor a (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) preductivity was studied in resident peritoneal maerophages from normal and hepatoma-bearing rats. The produetivity of TNF and IL-t was stimulated by gastric intubatien ef cabbage juiee i" the normal state, but not in the hepatoma-bearing state where the production of these cytokines had already been stimulated. Frem these resu)ts, cabbage may contain some effective component(s) that ean be abserbed from the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate the preduction ef TNF and IL-1.
