Abstract

Endotoxemia remains a critical clinical dilemma due to high mortality rate provoked by the systemic inflammatory response, which often leads to sever hepatic injury and immune dysregulation. This study aimed at delineating the modulatory effect of fucoxanthin (FX) and γ-radiation (IR) on LPS-induced spleen and liver injury. LPS sensitized mice showed enhanced splenic and hepatic TLR4/NF-κB- signaling, suppressed splenic α-7nAchR-expression, activated hepatic RIPK/HMGB-1, impaired hepatic leptin/STAT-3 signaling, extensive oxidative stress, and marked apoptosis with sever degenerative histopathological examination. FX and/or IR protected liver and spleen against detrimental effects evoked by LPS. Overall, FX and/or IR exhibited protective effect against endotoxemia.
