Eicosapentaenoic acid preserves diaphragm force generation following endotoxin administration
INTRODUCTION Infections produce severe respiratory muscle weakness, which contributes to the development of respiratory failure. An effective, safe therapy to prevent respiratory muscle dysfunction in infected patients has not been defined. This study examined the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an immunomodulator that can be safely administered to patients, on diaphragm force generation...
متن کاملEicosapentaenoic acid suppresses ocular inflammation in endotoxin-induced uveitis
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on acute ocular inflammation in an animal model of endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU). METHODS C57Bl/6 mice (6-week-old males) were orally treated with EPA at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day for 5 days. EIU was then induced in the animals by intraperitoneal injection of 160 microg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Twenty-four hours after LPS inject...
متن کامل[Salbutamol improves diaphragm force generation in experimental sepsis].
OBJECTIVE In a high percentage of cases, severe sepsis is accompanied by acute respiratory failure, in which weakness of the respiratory muscles plays an important role. Weakened respiratory muscles that are subjected to an increased mechanical load may develop muscle fatigue, with exacerbation of the respiratory failure. Because beta2-adrenergic drugs increase muscle contraction force, they ma...

متن کاملA novel effect of eicosapentaenoic acid: improved diaphragm strength in endotoxemia
Respiratory muscle weakness is commonplace in critically ill patients, impairing the ability of those patients to breath, prolonging the need for ventilatory support, and increasing the likelihood of respiratory failure when that support is removed. Infections and endotoxemia reduce respiratory muscle strength, probably acting through several mechanisms. It is reported that the omega-3 fatty ac...
