While it is generally believed that hepatic clearance of lipopolysaccharide involves Kupffer cells, the mechanism involved has not been fully elucidated. This study assesses this phenomenon in terms of in vitro uptake and post-uptake modification experiments with an "' 1- labeled Salmonella minnesot

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
Circulating endothelin (ET) levels are elevated in conditions such as endotoxemia, hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, or orthotopic liver transplantation, and this potent peptide may contribute to hepatic athophysiology. We measured the surface binding of [' IIET-1 to rat Kupffer cells in primary
