Bull Exp Biol Med. 2017 Aug;163(4):419-421. doi: 10.1007/s10517-017-3818-7. Epub 2017 Aug 29.

Abstract

We studied the effect of pectin gel particles on endotoxemia in mice induced by restraint stress. It was shown that the concentration of LPS in mouse blood increased during restraint stress, which was associated with memory impairment. Pectin gel particles prevented the development of stress-induced endotoxemia and memory impairment in mice.

Keywords: endotoxemia; pectin gel particles; restraint stress.
