Both endotoxin (lipopolysaccharides of gram-negative bacteria; LPS) and bacterial exotoxins may induce pulmonary microcirculatory disturbances when infused into the lung vasculature, and synergism between these types of microbial challenge has recently been noted. We now asked whether a bronchoalveolar LPS

Although endotoxin (lipopolysaccharides, LPS) is recognized as a mediator of septic cardiodepression, its cardiac effects are still not fully elucidated. Perfusion of isolated rat hearts with LPS for 180 minutes resulted in a decline of left ventricular contractility after 90

Cyclooxygenase metabolites stimulate or sensitize group III and IV muscle afferents, which comprise the sensory arm of the exercise pressor reflex. The thromboxane (TP) receptor binds several of these metabolites, whose concentrations in the muscle interstitium are increased by exercise
Prostanoids, i.e. prostaglandins and thromboxane, regulate liver-specific functions both in homeostasis and during defense reactions. For example, prostanoids are released from Kupffer cells, the resident liver macrophages, in response to the inflammatory mediator anaphylatoxin C5a, and mediate an enhanced glucose
