Nature of the Endotoxin-inactivating Principle in Guinea-pig Liver.
Corwin, L. M. (Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C.), and W. E. Farrar, Jr. Nature of the endotoxin-inactivating principle in guinea-pig liver. J. Bacteriol. 87:832-837. 1964.-Guinea-pig liver preparations inactivate Serratia marcescens endotoxin as assayed in chick embryo. The activity is optimal at pH 6.5 to 7.0 and 8.5 to 9.0. Mitochondria and the supernatant fraction containing...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bacterial Endotoxin on the Newborn Guinea Pig
Newborn guinea pigs (less than 24 hours old) are highly susceptible to the lethal effect of endotoxin and susceptibility decreases with age. The vulnerability to endotoxin has not been attributed to hypofunction of either the adrenal gland or the reticuloendothelial system of the newborn, since prior injection of corticosteroids provides only partial protection to endotoxin and newborn guinea p...
متن کاملTolerance to tumor necrosis factor in rats and the relationship to endotoxin tolerance and toxicity
Treatment of rats with recombinant human TNF initially causes a marked decrease in food intake, a loss of body weight, and a negative nitrogen balance. These alterations normalize with continued twice daily intraperitoneal injections of the same dose. Rats tolerized to TNF in this manner are refractory to a lethal dose of TNF. Also, TNF-pretreated and -tolerized rats have prolonged survival and...
متن کاملEndotoxin induced damage to the cochlea in guinea pigs.
An apparently unique form of cochlear damage was produced in guinea pigs by perfusing the cochlea or injecting the cerebrospinal fluid with bacterial endotoxin. This developed rapidly (within two hours) and was characterised by swelling of the tectorial membrane and damage to both inner and outer hair cells, with parallel functional damage demonstrable electrophysiologically. All these changes ...
متن کاملEffects of endotoxin treatment on the differentiation of guinea pig megakaryocytes to blood platelets.
The effect of endotoxin treatment (30 micrograms/kg body weight) on megakaryocyte development and platelet production in guinea pigs was investigated. A moderate thrombocytopenia was noted at 24 h after endotoxin administration. Recovery was observed at 48 h when the platelet count had almost reached the normal level. A significant increase in platelet production was obtained at 48 h, indicated...
