Leukocytosis and Enhanced Susceptibility to Endotoxemia but Not Atherosclerosis in Adrenalectomized APOE Knockout Mice

Hyperlipidemic apolipoprotein E (APOE) knockout mice show an enhanced level of adrenal-derived anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids. Here we determined in APOE knockout mice the impact of total removal of adrenal function through adrenalectomy (ADX) on two inflammation-associated pathologies, endotoxem...
