Does dehydroepiandrosterone modulate survival and immune functions during sepsis depending on the way of drug administration?
Subcutaneous administration of DHEA induced an increased survival rate and improved cellular immune functions in septic mice. In contrast, no comparable effects were noticed following intravenous or intraperitoneal administration of DHEA.
The estimated radiation burden of 18F-FECNT is relatively modest and would allow multiple scans per research subject per year.
