Effects of endotoxin and cytokines on lipid metabolism

I Hardardóttir et al. Curr Opin Lipidol. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

Endotoxin, via cytokines, induces marked changes in lipid metabolism: serum VLDL increases, whereas the effect on LDL levels varies among species. The increase in VLDL is caused by stimulation of hepatic VLDL secretion or inhibition of clearance, or both. These alterations can be deleterious or beneficial effects.
