Gut-Derived Serum Lipopolysaccharide is Associated With Enhanced Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Atrial Fibrillation: Effect of Adherence to Mediterranean Diet [PDF]
, 2017 Gut microbiota is emerging as a novel risk factor for atherothrombosis, but the predictive role of gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is unknown. We analyzed (1) the association between LPS and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in atrial ...

Lipopolysaccharides: structure, function and bacterial identification
, 2020 Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are the main components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They are glycolipids containing a lipid moiety called lipid A, more often made of a bis-phosphorylated glucosamine disaccharide, carrying fatty acids in ...

Lipopolysaccharide interactions with lysozyme differentially affect lipopolysaccharide immunostimulatory activity [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1989 The effect of complex formation between lysozyme and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the immunostimulatory activities of LPS have been investigated in vitro. Three prototype immunostimulatory activities were examined: B‐lymphocyte proliferation, B‐lymphocyte differentiation and macrophage production of lymphocyte‐activating factor activity.

Lipopolysaccharides in Food, Food Supplements, and Probiotics: Should We be Worried?
European Journal of Microbiology & Immunology, 2018 The fever-inducing effect of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) is well known, and human blood is extremely responsive to this pyrogen. Recently, the safety of LPS-containing food supplements and probiotic drugs as immune-stimulants has been questioned, although ...
