Abstract

Introduction: Systemic inflammation is the major clinical problem which is constellation of communicable and non-communicable infection equipped with acute to chronic inflammation. It may lead to unfavourable conditions for instance, systemic inflammatory syndrome, burns and sepsis. Systemic inflammation might rotate the steering towards vital clinical maladies including cardiomyopathy, neuroinflammation, hepatitis, liver and kidney diseases and even diabetes. In order to elucidate the molecular insights in these clinical implications, there is an intensive need
to design rodent model of systemic inflammation having close association with systemic inflammatory conditions in humans. Methods: Presently, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced systemic inflammatory rodent model is widely established, reproducible and acceptable among scientists. In this model animals are treated with intraperitoneal injection of LPS ranging from 1-10 mg/kg which leads to instant release of proinflammatory cytokines to provide robust model of systemic inflammation in order to elucidate pathological conditions and their in-depth mechanism to uncover the new anti-inflammatory therapeutic targets. Conclusion: Robust model would open new window to explore anti-inflammatory activities of phytochemicals, small molecules and drug candidates along with crosstalk of different signaling pathways at molecular level.
