abstract
Plasma TNF-a and IL-6 levels of endotoxin-induced DIC in rabbits were measured by ELISA methods. Simultaneously, the effects of Reduqing (RDQ) on TNF-alpha and IL-6 were also studied. The results showed that TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels increased markedly in model group, which were confirmed with obvious damage of tissue or organ. Co-administration of RDQ could reduce plasma TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels, together with mild tissue or organ damage. These results indicated TNF-alpha and IL-6 might be involved in pathogenesis of endotoxin-induced DIC, RDQ might be used in preventing or treating DIC through mechanism of reducing TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels.
