Abstract
We demonstrate here for the first time that the endogenous cyclopentenone prostaglandin 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-prostaglandin J2) reduces the liver injury (rise in serum transaminases) caused by severe endotoxaemia (6 mg/kg Escherichia coli endotoxin i.v. for 6 h) in the anaesthetised rat. The protection of the liver afforded by this potent agonist of PPAR-gamma was not secondary to a haemodynamic effect. Thus, 15d-prostaglandin J2 and other PPAR-gamma agonists may be useful in the therapy of septic shock.Entities:
