Abstract：
:The plasma disappearance of endotoxin and endotoxin-induced hepatic injury were studied in two rat models: the aging rat and the subacutely hypervitaminotic A rat. The choice of these models was based on their respective association with a decreased or increased Kupffer cell endocytic activity. The half-life of endotoxin (E. coli O26: B6, phenol extracted) in plasma was significantly prolonged in aged rats as measured by both the Limulus assay (t1/2 = 2.1 +/- 0.1 h in 3-6-month-old, and 3.3 +/- 0.3 h in 24-36-month-old rats) and 51Cr-labeled endotoxin radioactivity assay (t1/2 = 5.3 +/- 0.3 h in 3-6-month old and 7.7 +/- 0.6 h in 24 36-month-old rats). In subacute hypervitaminosis A, the half-life of endotoxin was significantly decreased in the Limulus assay (t1/2 = 2.1 +/- 0.1 h in 3-6-month old and 1.4 +/- 0.2 h in subacutely hypervitaminotic A rats), but not in the radioactivity assay (t1/2 = 5.3 +/- 0.3 h in 3-6-month-old and 5.0 +/- 0.4 h in subacutely hypervitaminotic A rats). Hundred percent mortality was observed at a dose of 2 mg endotoxin/100 g body wt. in old rats, but not in young rats. Only 1 of 7 young subacutely hypervitaminotic A rats died following injection of this dose of endotoxin. The dose of endotoxin which caused only minimal parenchymal liver cell injury in young rats induced substantial parenchymal cell injury in old rats and subacutely hypervitaminotic A rats as determined by both histological and biochemical parameters. It is concluded that some basic characteristics of experimental animals, such as age and nutritional status, can dramatically influence the sensitivity to endotoxin and this is not necessarily correlated with the rate of endotoxin clearance.
