Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) activation has been demonstrated in response to endotoxin challenge, but the mechanism and significance are unclear. We investigated the effect of mTORC1 suppression in an animal model of endotoxemia and in a cellular model of endotoxin signaling. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Mice were treated with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin or vehicle prior to...
