MATERIALS AND METHODS: The effect of acute systemic inflammation on VEGF concentration was measured in healthy males after an intravenous bolus infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS, 20 IU kg-1) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. LPS administration was followed by an infusion of lepirudin (bolus 0.1 mg kg-1, continuous infusion of 0.1 mg kg-1 h-1, n = 12) or saline (n = 12). RESULTS: Plasma VEGF increased from a mean of 15.1 pg mL-1 to 74.6 pg mL-1 5 h after LPS (P < 0.003). Body temperature, pulse rate, leukcytes, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2) and lactoferrin increased and platelets decreased after LPS (P < 0.05). The LPS-induced increase in VEGF was paralleled by the neutrophil cell degranulation marker lactoferrin but not by F1 + 2, and was not affected by lepirudin, which blunted F1 + 2 formation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Inflammation-induced activation of leukcytes rather than platelets plays a role in the marked increase in VEGF, which cannot be abrogated by antithrombotic therapy. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=240 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Hung WC, Lee CR, Chen YC, Sung MY, Yeh MH and Sheu RJ ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Marked increase in vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations during Escherichia coli endotoxin-induced acute inflammation in humans. ------>language= ------>check_flag=0 ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=1999 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
