A single injection of bacterial endotoxin induced cyclic changes of enhanced or reduced host reactivities, as determined in some measurements of the beneficial effects of endotoxin, such as immune potentiation or protection against lethal irradiation. The results described here show that endotoxin-induced resistance to subsequent challenge with transplantable tumors such as Lewis lung carcinoma or L1210 murine leukemia is similarly time dependent. While certain time intervals between endotoxin treatment and tumor challenge will provide significant protection, others will render the recipients highly susceptible to the same tumor. It was also observed that L1210-bearing mice have a lower resistance to endotoxin injections than tumor-free mice of the same strain.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-somatotropic (HPS) axis controls many physiological and pathophysiological processes. The phenomenon of insensitivity to growth hormone resistance (GHres) was previously reported to be due to the development of inflammation. Therefore, the primary aim of the study was to determine the impact of inflammation caused by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on the secretory activity of the HPS axis in sheep.

Several blinding diseases affecting the retina and optic nerve are exacerbated by or caused by dysregulated inflammation and oxidative stress. These diseases include uveitis, age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Consequently, despite their divergent symptoms, treatments that reduce oxidative stress and suppress inflammation may be therapeutic.

Metastasis remains a leading cause of mortality for patients with solid tumors. An expanding body of literature suggests interplay between the host, gut, and tumoral microbiomes may play a role in cancer initiation and distant dissemination. These associations have been particularly well-studied in colorectal cancer, where gut dysbiosis and an endotoxin-induced inflammatory milieu foster premalignant polyp formation, setting the stage for carcinogenesis.

During the periparturient period, dairy cows exhibit negative energy balance due to limited appetite and increased energy requirements for lactogenesis. The delicate equilibrium between energy availability and expenditure puts cows in a state of metabolic stress characterized by excessive lipolysis in white adipose tissues (AT), increased production of reactive oxygen species, and immune cell dysfunction. Metabolic stress, especially in AT, increases the risk for metabolic and inflammatory diseases.

Sepsis can trigger acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can lead to a series of physiological changes, modifying the effectiveness of therapy and culminating in death. For all experiments, male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were split into the following groups: control and sepsis-induced by endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS); the control group received only intraperitoneal saline or saline + CEF while the treated groups received ceftriaxone (CEF) (100 mg/kg) IP; previously or not with sepsis induction by LPS (1 mg/kg) IP. We evaluated respiratory mechanics, and alveolar bronchial lavage was collected for nitrite and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) quantification and cell evaluation.
