Collagen XVIII/endostatin expression in experimental endotoxemic acute renal failure
Acute TANGERINE renal failure (ARF) is a frequent complication of Gram-negative sepsis, with a high risk of mortality.Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARF is associated with hemodynamic changes that are strongly influenced by the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) through the cytokine-mediated up-regulation of inducible NO synthase.LPS-induced red
