LPS Endotoxin Increases Inflammation, Decreases Antioxidant System and Alters Dopamine Receptor in Renal Tubule - Implications for Hypertension and Salt Intake!

Title: Inflammation compromises renal dopamine d1 receptor function in rats. American journal of physiology.

Summary: This study demonstrates that LPS differentially regulates Nf-kappaB, Nrf2, produces inflammation, decreases antioxidant enzymes, increases oxidative stress and alters dopamine D1 receptors in the renal tubule.
