Pathophysiology of endotoxin tolerance: mechanisms and clinical consequences
Endotoxin tolerance was first described in a study that exposed animals to a sublethal dose of bacterial endotoxin. The animals subsequently survived a lethal injection of endotoxin. This refractory state is associated with the innate immune system and, in particular, with monocytes and macrophages, which act as the main participants. Several mechanisms are involved in the control of endotoxin ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Endotoxin Tolerance
Healthy male volunteers were rendered tolerant to the pyrogenic and toxic activities of bacterial endotoxin by daily intravenous injections. Five subjects were given 0.5 microg Salmonella typhosa endotoxin for 7 days; four subjects were given Pseudomonas endotoxin, increasing over a period of 30 days from 25 to 250 microg. Reticuloendothelial system (RES) phagocytic activity was assessed by ser...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of endotoxin tolerance.
The phenomenon of endotoxin tolerance has been widely investigated, but to date, the molecular mechanisms of endotoxin tolerance remain to be resolved clearly. The discovery of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family as the major receptors for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other bacterial products has prompted a resurgence of interest in endotoxin tolerance mechanisms. Changes of cell surface molecu...
متن کاملAntipsychotic-induced Hyperprolactinemia: Pathophysiology and Clinical Consequences
Hyperprolactinemia is one of the major adverse effects of antipsychotic agents. Although it is predominantly associated with the use of conventional or typical agents, atypical agents also cause varying degrees of hyperprolactinemia. Clinical manifestations, which tend to be underrecognized, are the result of the direct action of prolactin on its target tissues and of the sequelae of hypogonadi...
متن کاملMechanisms of endotoxin tolerance in human intestinal microvascular endothelial cells.
Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) tolerance is well described in monocytes and macrophages, but is less well characterized in endothelial cells. Because intestinal microvascular endothelial cells exhibit a strong immune response to LPS challenge and play a critical regulatory role in gut inflammation, we sought to characterize the activation response of these cells to repeated LPS exposure. Primar...
