Endotoxin protects against hyperoxic decrease in membrane fluidity in endothelial cells but not in fibroblasts.

We evaluated the ability of endotoxin to protect against hyperoxic depression of plasma membrane fluidity in endothelial cells and fibroblasts in culture. Second- to-fifth passage porcine aortic endothelial cells and human newborn foreskin fibroblasts with 20 ng/ml of endotoxin or diluent in the cul... View More
