Endotoxemia Genetic Profile Reveals an Association with Thromboembolism and Stroke
Microorganisms are part of the human body, and bacteria or their components often end up in the circulation. One such bacterial component is lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is a toxin. High concentrations of LPS in the blood cause sepsis. Low LPS levels, known as endotoxemia, cause low-grade inflammation. More...09 Nov 2021
