Article Abstract
Prostaglandins are profoundly involved in endotoxaemic shock. Twenty pigs were given endotoxin at various doses (0.063-16 microg kg(-1) h(-1)). Three non-endotoxaemic pigs served as controls. Two eicosanoids were measured in plasma (8-iso-PGF(2alpha), a free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation product, and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) a major metabolite of COX activity) and evaluated against the pathophysiological responses that occur during endotoxaemic shock. Endotoxin mediates an increase in both 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha). An increase in the endotoxin dose induced significant log-linear responses in 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha). Oxidative injury correlated to the TNF-alpha, IL-6, reductions in cardiac performance and to oxygen delivery and utilisation. COX-mediated inflammatory responses correlated to TNF-alpha, IL-6 and to reductions in arterial oxygen tension. Thus, oxidative injury and COX-mediated inflammation play a central role in the manifestation of endotoxaemic shock. Furthermore, formation of these eicosanoids on endotoxin-mediated alterations in pulmonary hypertension, oxygen delivery and oxygen utilisation seems to be independent of the administered endotoxin dose.

Sepsis can lead to shock, multiple organ failure, and even death. Platelets play an active role in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced multiple organ failure. Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), a biologically active peptide, counteracts various effects of Ang II and attenuates inflammatory responses, reactive oxygen species production, and apoptosis.

Article Synopsis
- The carotid bodies and baroreceptors are sensors that send information to the brain about physiological conditions and may help in detecting pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, which could trigger an anti-inflammatory response.* -
- In the study, researchers isolated the carotid sinus nerve in mice and applied electrical stimulation before and after administering lipopolysaccharide, and they found that this stimulation reduced inflammation and protected the mice from shock-related death.* -
- The study concluded that the anti-inflammatory effects of carotid sinus nerve stimulation do not rely on the autonomic nervous system but instead involve mechanisms like increased corticosterone production through the hypothalamus and the adrenal glands.*

The therapeutic potential of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin (Camp) administration in sepsis has been widely investigated. However, little is known about the pathophysiological roles of cathelicidin in septic cardiomyopathy. In a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxaemic model, we found that the mRNA and protein expression of cardiac cathelicidin were induced in C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice upon LPS challenge, accompanied by increased circulating cathelicidin levels.
