A shock model was experimentally produced by intravenous injection of a lethal dose (3 mg/kg) of endotoxin under general anesthesia induced by pentobarbital sodium using 7 beagles. The effect of this endotoxic shock on the reticuloendothelial function was investigated. The blood endotoxin concentration peaked immediately after administration and decreased subsequently. However, the value still remained on an increased level (1,051 pg/ml) even at 360 min after endotoxin treatment. The lipid emulsion test as an index of reticuloendothelial phagocytotic activity and the arterial ketone body ratio as an index of the energy charge in the liver decreased after endotoxin treatment and failed to recover during the experiment. Fibronectin, one of opsonic proteins, tended to decrease after injection of the endotoxin and was significantly (p < 0.01) low at 180 and 360 min compared with the value before injection of the endotoxin. These results suggested the depression of the reticuloendothelial function during endotoxin-induced shock.

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D012157 Mononuclear Phagocyte System Mononuclear cells with pronounced phagocytic ability that are distributed extensively in lymphoid and other organs. It includes MACROPHAGES and their precursors; PHAGOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS; HISTIOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and MICROGLIA. The term mononuclear phagocyte system has replaced the former reticuloendothelial system, which also included less active phagocytic cells such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
