Gram Negative Bacterial Inflammation Ameliorated by the Plasma Protein Beta 2-Glycoprotein I
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer wall of gram negative bacteria. In high doses LPS contributes to the inflammation in gram negative sepsis, and in low doses contributes to the low grade inflammation characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. We wanted to assess the role of beta2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) a highly conserved plasma protein and its different biochemical forms...
متن کاملProphylactic administration of interleukin-2 protects mice from lethal challenge with gram-negative bacteria.
Prophylactic administration of recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2) in mice enhanced survival and produced complete recovery from an otherwise lethal acute bacterial infection. IL-2 was administered as a single intraperitoneal or intravenous bolus dose to CDI mice 18 h before challenge with a lethal dose of a clinical isolate of Escherichia coli type O2 (minimal 100% lethal dose, 6 X 10(7) CF...
متن کاملHypophosphataemia in septicaemia: higher incidence in gram-negative than in gram-positive infections.
Phosphataemia has been investigated in 54 patients with Gram-negative septicaemias; either absolute (serum phosphate <2 mg./100 ml.) or relative (P./B.U.N. 0.04) hypophosphataemia was found in 69% of all determinations. In 37 patients with Gram-positive septicaemias hypophosphataemia was present in only 24%, many of whom had additional Gram-negative bacteriuria and possible Gram-negative septic...
متن کاملGram negative septicaemia diagnosed on peripheral blood smear appearances.
Buffy coat smears from febrile patients may contain visible bacteria and therefore detect bacteraemia before conventional blood cultures become positive. However, it is unusual to see micro-organisms in an otherwise untreated peripheral blood smear. The case of a febrile neutropenic patient is reported. A Wright's stained peripheral blood smear contained bacterial elements, thus making earlier ...
متن کاملMaternal Deprivation Exacerbates the Response to a High Fat Diet in a Sexually Dimorphic Manner
Maternal deprivation (MD) during neonatal life has diverse long-term effects, including affectation of metabolism. Indeed, MD for 24 hours during the neonatal period reduces body weight throughout life when the animals are maintained on a normal diet. However, little information is available regarding how this early stress affects the response to increased metabolic challenges during postnatal ...
