| description | Abstract Background Endotoxaemia is believed to be a major cause of mortality and there are several therapeutic regimens for the treatment of this situation. Objectives The present experimental study was conducted to evaluate acute phase response, cardiovascular and hepatorenal damages following the treatment of Ovine experimental endotoxaemia model employing unfractionated heparin (UFH). Materials and Methods Twenty clinically healthy 1‐year‐old fat‐tailed ewes were randomly divided into four equal groups, comprising UFH 200, UFH 400, Ctrl+ and Ctrl‐. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli serotype O55:B5 at 0.4 μg/kg was administered intravenously to the ewes. UFH (at 200 and 400 IU/kg) was administrated to the UFH 200 and UFH 400 groups, respectively. All the ewes were evaluated clinically before and 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6 and 24 hours after LPS injection. Blood samplings were also performed at those hours. We measured serum concentrations of haptoglobin, interferon‐gamma, total antioxidant status, malondialdehyde, cardiac lactate dehydrogenase, cardiac troponin‐I, total bilirubin, alanine transaminase and creatinine. Serum concentrations of acute phase response, cardiovascular, hepatic and renal biomarkers and clinical parameters increased significantly following the induction of endotoxaemia in the groups receiving LPS. Results The significantly lowest concentrations of these parameters at hours 4.5 and 6 among the treatment groups belonged to the UFH 400 sheep. Conclusions UFH could act as an anti‐inflammatory mediator by decreasing inflammatory cytokines and acute phase proteins, modulating oxidative stress biomarkers and reducing multiple organ dysfunction following endotoxaemia in a dose–dependent manner. Furthermore, the anti‐inflammatory effects of UFH at 400 IU/kg were significantly higher than another dose. This research examined the effect of two doses of UFH and higher doses may have more anti‐inflammatory effects that require further studies. |
