Research Abstract |
We hypothesized that insulin-resistance and metabolic failure under sepsis could be attributable to capillary-endothelial failure. We found that PPARγ, a nuclear receptor for metabolic regulation, is abundantly expressed in capillary endothelial cells and induces its target genes such as FABP4 and FAT/CD36. However, there was no significant difference regarding survival rate between wild type and PPARγ-endothelial knockout mice after LPS treatment, or sepsis model. In contrast, survival rate of FABP4/5 double knockout mice was higher than wild type after LPS treatment.
