Does eicosapentaenoic acid preserve diaphragm force generation following endotoxin administration?
These data indicate that endotoxin-induced reductions in diaphragm specific force generation can be partially prevented by administration of EPA, a nontoxic biopharmaceutical that can be safely given to patients. We speculate that it may be possible to reduce infection-induced skeletal muscle weakness in critically ill patients by administration of EPA.
vitamin D 1,25(OH)2D3 could reduce endothelial damage by decreasing NETosis activity. This result may reveal the possibility of Vitamin D as supplementary therapy for SLE patients with hypovitamin D to prevent endothelial damage.
