Methylprednisolone protects cardiac pumping mechanics from deteriorating in lipopolysaccharide-treated rats

Methylprednisolone protects cardiac pumping mechanics from deteriorating in lipopolysaccharide-treated rats

It has been shown that a prolonged low-dose corticosteroid treatment attenuates the severity of inflammation and the intensity and duration of organ system failure. In the present study, we determined whether low-dose methylprednisolone (a synthetic glucocorticoid) can protect male Wistar rats again...
