Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Preconditioning using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 ligand, has been demonstrated to attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in several organs but has not been sufficiently elucidated in the liver. We investigated the molecular mechanism of protection induced by LPS preconditioning against hepatic IRI. METHODS: BALB/c mice underwent 70% hepatic ischemia for 90 min. LPS was...
