 note = {Using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated porcine model, we examined: (1) whether nitric oxide (NO), anandamide, and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) increased or not in early endotoxic shock; and (2) the location of the major site of production of these molecules, by comparing their concentrations in arteries and the portal and hepatic veins., Ten pigs received an infusion of LPS at 1.7 microg x kg(-1)x h(-1) via the portal vein for 240 min. Consecutive changes in systemic hemodynamics, hepatosplanchnic circulation, and oxygen delivery were measured. Furthermore, the variable changes in the concentrations of nitrite and nitrate (NOx), anandamide, and BH4 were measured. To access the effects of surgery, anesthesia, and fluid management on BH4, an experiment without LPS infusion was performed in two other animals., Mean arterial pressure and cardiac index started to decrease at 60 min after LPS infusion. However, systemic vascular resistance remained unchanged. Total hepatic blood flow and hepatic oxygen delivery also decreased significantly. NOx and anandamide did not change during LPS infusion. BH4 values did not change without LPS infusion. However, BH4 values increased significantly in the arterial, portal, and hepatic circulation during LPS infusion, especially in the hepatic vein (from 136.8 +/- 27.5 to 281.3 +/- 123.2 mol/ml; P < 0.01)., Our data suggest that the BH4 values were significantly increased in several organs, especially in the liver during endotoxic shock. Impaired cardiac output and decreased blood pressure appeared in the early phase of porcine endotoxemia. Longer-term observation of these parameters after LPS treatment should be performed as the next step in future studies., Using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated porcine model, we examined: (1) whether nitric oxide (NO), anandamide, and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) increased or not in early endotoxic shock; and (2) the location of the major site of production of these molecules, by comparing their concentrations in arteries and the portal and hepatic veins., Ten pigs received an infusion of LPS at 1.7 microg x kg(-1)x h(-1) via the portal vein for 240 min.
