1 Catecholamines up-regulate lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-6 production in human microvascular endothelial cells. Catecholamines interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 Whereas catecholamines decrease the LPS-induced production of IL-6 by leukocytes, serum levels of IL-6 are dramatically increased by the catecholamine epinephrine in animal endotoxemia models. Catecholamines interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, these catecholamines could even potentiate the LPS-induced IL-6 protein production. Catecholamines interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 The catecholamine-induced IL-6 stimulation is based on increased IL-6 mRNA levels. Catecholamines interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
5 The catecholamine-induced IL-6 stimulation is based on increased IL-6 mRNA levels. Catecholamines interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
6 Thus, endothelial cells might be a possible source of increased IL-6 production observed in situations such as stress or septic shock, in which catecholamines are elevated due to endogenous production or exogenous application. Catecholamines interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
