Excessive nitric oxide (NO) generated by hepatic cells in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and inflammatory substances (e.g., platelet-activating factor [PAF]) is a key contributor to the pathophysiological outcomes observed in the liver during sepsis. In rats subjected to liver-focused endotoxe
Our previous study has reported that ethanol (ETOH) partially inhibited the endotoxin (LPS)-induced tissue factor (TF)-activation in monocytes including blood peripheral monocytes as well as cultured leukemic U937 and THP-1 cells. The present study shows a strong correlation r 0Á92; p `0Á01 between
Primary cultures enriched in neurons dissociated from embryonic rat cerebra were used to demonstrate that platelet activating factor and the structurally related ether glycerolipid, dodecylglycerol, are readily taken up in small amounts by neurons and that they stimulate the differentiation of neuro
