Abstract
Endotoxin, via cytokines, induces marked changes in lipid metabolism which are now considered part of the acute phase response. The endotoxin induced hyperlipidemia may represent a nonspecific immune response that can decrease the toxicity of a variety of harmful biological and chemical agents and serve to redistribute nutrients to cells important in host defense. The endotoxin induced changes in lipid metabolism may therefore be beneficial.Entities:
