Does cocaine enhance susceptibility to endotoxemic shock in a subset of rats?
We conclude that cocaine enhances susceptibility and worsens outcome from endotoxic shock by augmenting sympathetic activity, particularly in vascular responders, and that alpha-adrenoceptors mediate the altered inflammatory responses.
The results of the current meta-analysis show that the CT+CC group has higher levels of TC and LDL-C than the TT group. Moreover, there is also a prominent association between APOM T-778C polymorphism and the risk of CAD in the Chinese population, the CT+CC genotype is associated with increased risk of CAD.
