Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Responsible for Low-grade Stress and Inflammation Triggered By Super-low Dose Endotoxin

The gram-negative endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), has been extensively researched in high doses (10-200ng/ml) and is well-documented in the literature for its ability to result in devastating effects such as multi-organ failure, sepsis, and septic shock. In high doses, LPS signals through Toll-...
