Effects of hypothermia on mortality and inflammatory responses to endotoxin-induced shock in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the effects of hypothermia on mortality rate, concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 6 in plasma, and the end products of nitric oxide (NO) in endotoxemia. It was found that moderate and mild hypothermia improved the mortality rate and attenuated cytokine responses and the elevation of the end products of NO after endotoxin injection and that these beneficial effects were similar for moderate and mild hypothermia.

Objective(s): Pathophysiology of sepsis-associated renal failure (one of the most common cause of death in intensive care units) had not been fully determined. The effect of nitric oxide and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways in isolated kidney of Lipopolysaccharide-treated (LPS) rats were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: Vascular responsiveness to phenylephrine and acetylcholine...
متن کاملEffects of extracorporeal treatment with Lixelle on the mortality and inflammatory responses to endotoxin-induced shock in rats.
Endotoxemia and endotoxic shock are common problems in intensive care units and are associated with a very high mortality. Several previous studies have shown that Lixelle, which absorbs beta2-microglobulin for the treatment of dialysis-related amyloidosis, is also useful for the adsorption of inflammatory cytokines and endotoxins. The current study examined the use of Lixelle and its effects o...

UNLABELLED We examined the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on mortality and inflammatory responses during endotoxin-induced shock. Rats were allocated randomly to 1 of 4 groups (n = 12 per group): an endotoxemia group, receiving IV Escherichia coli endotoxin (15 mg/kg over 2 min); a saline control group, receiving 0.9% saline (1.0 mL/kg); a sevoflurane-only group, receiving 2.4% sevoflurane...

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the effects of active mild hyperthermia and the effects of active mild hyperthermia with propofol on mortality and inflammatory responses during endotoxin-induced shock in rats. METHODS Intravenous Escherichia coli endotoxin (15 mg/kg over 2 min) was injected in 48 rats. The animals were randomly allocated to one of the following four groups (n = 12 per grou...

Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Hypothermia has been recognized as an effective method in reducing brain injury. In this study, we assessed the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as a neuroprotective agent and mild hypothermia on mortality, behavioral function, infarct volume, and brain edema in Wistar rats. Methods: Forty male rats were used in fiv...
