Lipopolysaccharide, a main co mponent of Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin is the lead ing cause of sepsis or endotoxic shock. This condition generates tissue hypoperfusion and leads to a state of acute metabolic-circulatory dysfunction and multio rgan systemic failure wh ich contributes to amplify the inflammatory response and resulting in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6). The effect of NutriSim© on serum pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations were investigated in lipopolysaccharide-treated male W istar rats. Animals were rando mized into five groups: control groups receiv ing a single intraperitoneal in jection of physiologic saline solution or NutriSim© (10µl), respectively; LPS (20 mg/Kg, i.p.); NutriSim© treat ment 15 min before o r after LPS in the same aforementioned dose. The results showed that a single dose of NutriSim© prio r or before the endotoxic insult diminishes significantly the production of serum TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6. Therefore NutriSim© can modulate an inflammatory response in experimental model of endotoxic shock.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
