| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether inhibition of Kupffer cells(KCs) affects the expression of HMGB1 and mortality in septic peritonitis. Furthermore, the role of the spleen in septic peritonitis was also investigated. Elimination of the Kupffer cells increased mortality significantly. Furthermore, on the other hand, splenectomy improved mortality in animals with or without KC inhibition after CLP. Thus, the liver and spleen play key roles in host defense during septic peritonitis.
