  Aims: The effects of a beta blocker, especially an ultra-short acting selective beta blocker, such as landiolol hydrochloride on the organ protection in sepsis are unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether acute (early hours) liver injury in a rat model of sepsis induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration: a) can be corrected by administering landiolol and b) whether landiolol’s effects on liver injury is accomplished by diminishing the elevated expression of inflammatory cytokine, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and a vaso constrictor peptide, such as endothelin (ET)-1. Methods: Eight (8)-week-old male Wistar rats were administered for three hours with either LPS (n=12), or continuously with LPS plus landiolol (n=11). Control rats were treated with saline only in a similar manner as the treatment group .. View More»
