Download or read book Effects of Endotoxin on Glucose Uptake by the Isolated Forelimb of the Dog written by M. Jack Keyl and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has demonstrated an increase in glucose utilization by skeletal muscle occurs in hemorrhagic shock. It is conceivable that the hypoglycemia of gram negative septic shock is, in part, due to an increased glucose utilization by peripheral tissues. The hypothesis tested in this study was there is an increase in glucose uptake by the isolated innervated and/or denervated forelimb of the dog subjected to endotoxin shock. Results indicate that endotoxin does not affect a net increase of glucose uptake by the isolated forelimb. No increase in uptake occurred when blood glucose concentration was normal. However, when endotoxin hypotension induced a significant hyperglycemia or when arterial glucose concentration was elevated by glucose administration, an apparent increase in forelimb glucose uptake occurred. It is concluded that endotoxin does not increase the uptake of glucose by skin and muscle except that it causes a hyperglycemia secondary to an increased sympathoadrenal discharge in the shock state. If the dog becomes sufficiently hyperglycemic, an apparent increase in glucose uptake occurs probably because of accumulation of glucose in the interstitial space of skin and muscle.

Download or read book Glucose Metabolism and Role of the Blood in Endotoxin Shock written by L. B. Hinshaw and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in vitro study was conducted to explore influences modifying glucose uptake in canine blood administered an estimated LD sub 100 E. coli endotoxin. Particular emphasis was given to assay the role that leukocytes perform in glucose utilization. Results show significant increases in glucose uptake and lactic acid production 1-3 hours following endotoxin addition. Accelerated glucose uptake greatly exceeded basal values and was attributed to increased activity of the white cell. The excess glucose required by the white cell was independent of temperature between the ranges of 34-41C. Endotoxin, however, simultaneously exerted adverse effects by depressing glucose metabolism below predicted values on the basis of Q10 findings and increased white cell mortality rate. Blood pretreated with sublethal doses of endotoxin in vivo was studied under in vitro conditions. All endotoxin-pretreated animals survived superlethal doses of endotoxin. Pretreated blood studied in vitro exhibited accelerated hypoglycemia when subjected to endotoxin, 'activation' of the blood elicited by increasing numbers of white blood cells rather than by enchancement of individual cell activity.

Download or read book Veterans and Agent Orange written by Committee to Review the Health Effects in Vietnam Veterans of Exposure to Herbicides and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-15 with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have U.S. military personnel experienced health problems from being exposed to Agent Orange, its dioxin contaminants, and other herbicides used in Vietnam? This definitive volume summarizes the strength of the evidence associating exposure during Vietnam service with cancer and other health effects and presents conclusions from an expert panel. Veterans and Agent Orange provides a historical review of the issue, examines studies of populations, in addition to Vietnam veterans, environmentally and occupationally exposed to herbicides and dioxin, and discusses problems in study methodology. The core of the book presents What is known about the toxicology of the herbicides used in greatest quantities in Vietnam. What is known about assessing exposure to herbicides and dioxin. What can be determined from the wide range of epidemiological studies conducted by different authorities. What is known about the relationship between exposure to herbicides and dioxin, and cancer, reproductive effects, neurobehavioral disorders, and other health effects. The book describes research areas of continuing concern and offers recommendations for further research on the health effects of Agent Orange exposure among Vietnam veterans. This volume will be critically important to both policymakers and physicians in the federal government, Vietnam veterans and their families, veterans organizations, researchers, and health professionals.
