- Abstract:
- The effect of injection or chronic infusion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into unanaesthetized rats on the distribution of [99Tcm-]SC has been determined. At a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, LPS injection caused a marked alteration in the distribution of the radiolabelled material, with more uptake being achieved in the lung while less was taken up by the spleen. Kidney and liver uptake were also changed. Chronic infusion of LPS at a similar dose (3 mg/kg in 24 h) caused a marked increase in the uptake of the radioactive material by the lung only. These data are consistent with a working hypothesis that the alterations in RES phagocytic activity of the lung observed in rats subjected to burn trauma could be related in part to LPS, either coming as a bolus, or being continuously presented.
