Abstract excerpt
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes a systemic reaction known as sepsis, which is frequently associated with cholestasis. Many biological effects produced by LPS are thought to be mediated by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Organic anion-transporting polypeptide 4 (Oatp4; Slc21a10) mediates hepatic uptake of bile acids and other organic anions. The purpose of this study was to determine 1) whether LPS decreases Oatp4...
