3 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
We showed that LPS treatment markedly increased mitochondrial ROS production and induced lysosomal dysfunction and aberrant autophagy in cardiomyocytes and mouse hearts, leading to inflammatory responses and myocardial injury and dysfunction in septic mice.
Sepsis was induced in mice by injection of LPS (4 mg/kg, i.p.).
Then mice received NMN (500 mg/kg, i.p.) or mito-TEMPO (0.7 mg/kg, i.p.) right after LPS injection, and subjected to echocardiography for assessing myocardial function.
