abstract：:Endotoxemia is characterized by multiple dysfunctions of the micro-vascular endothelium. Of these, vascular leakage is an initial event that aggravates vascular dysfunction can lead to systemic vascular collapse and organ failure. Thus, prevention of vascular leakage may ameliorate endotoxin-induced dysfunctions of bl...
