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 ...

Is Endotoxemia in Stable Hemodialysis Patients an Artefact? Limitations of the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Assay and Role of (1→3)-β-D Glucan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Elevated blood endotoxin levels are frequently reported in the dialysis population and are strongly linked with inflammation, a major predictor of mortality.

ENDOTOXAEMIA, PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS, AND THROMBOCYTOPENIA IN LIVER TRANSPLANTATION [PDF]
, 1989 Plasma endotoxin was measured in 64 patients undergoing primary liver replacement. Endotoxin concentrations increased during the anhepatic phase of the operations, and remained high for several days.

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.

Endotoxin Production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 with Potential Medical Applications
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019 Four Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli ATCC 19404, P. aeruginosa ATCC9027, A. hydrophila ATCC 7966 and V. damsel ATCC 33539) were screened for production of endotoxin. P. aeruginosa recoded the highest endotoxin concentration (338.59 x 103 IU/ml).
