Correlation of Lipopolysaccharide Endotoxin Level in Cotton Dust with the Increase of TNFα Level and the Decline of Lung Function in Cotton Spinning Factory Workers [PDF]
, 2014 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin contained in cotton dust may cause airway inflammation and decline of lung function when inhaled, which eventually leads to respiratory symptoms.

Intestinal epithelial responses to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis: Effects on intestinal permeability and ion transport [PDF]
, 2019 Salmonella infection of chickens that leads to potential human foodborne salmonellosis continues to be a major concern. Chickens serve as carriers but, in contrast to humans, rarely show any clinical signs including diarrhea.

Cardiovascular risk of circulating endotoxin level in prevalent hemodialysis patients
The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2018 Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Circulating endotoxins may have toxic effect on myocardial functions and are speculated as pathogens of accelerated ...

Personal endotoxin exposure in a panel study of school children with asthma
Environmental Health, 2011 Background Endotoxin exposure has been associated with asthma exacerbations and increased asthma prevalence. However, there is little data regarding personal exposure to endotoxin in children at risk, or the relation of personal endotoxin exposure to ...

Attenuation of leukocyte sequestration by selective blockade of PECAM-1 or VCAM-1 in murine endotoxemia [PDF]
, 2004 Background: Molecular mechanisms regulating leukocyte sequestration into the tissue during endotoxemia and/or sepsis are still poorly understood. This in vivo study investigates the biological role of murine PECAM-1 and VCAM-1 for leukocyte sequestration

Intratracheal IL-6 protects against lung inflammation in direct, but not indirect, causes of acute lung injury in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Serum and bronchoalveolar fluid IL-6 are increased in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and predict prolonged mechanical ventilation and poor outcomes, although the role of intra-alveolar IL-6 in indirect lung injury is unknown. We

Low Endotoxin Recovery—Masking of Naturally Occurring Endotoxin [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Endotoxins are cell wall components of Gram-negative bacteria. A release of endotoxins into the human blood stream results in an inflammation reaction that can lead to life-threatening conditions like sepsis. Therefore, control for endotoxin contamination of intravenously administered drugs is crucial.
