[Action of various bacterial endotoxins on pleurisy and pulmonary edema induced by thiourea]
Giornale Di Batteriologia, Virologia Ed Immunologia
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Administration of E. coli LPS prior to 3.5 mg/Kg dose of thiourea has been reported to protect rats against pulmonary edema and pleural effusion. However, LPS of Shigella sonnei (either in phase I or II) did not show any protective effect. These data might suggest a different mechanism of endotoxins on membranes.
