Neuroendocrine axis and modulation of responses to lipopolysaccharide: Intravenous administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces rapid reduction in blood pressure in rats. Either bilateral removal of the submandibular salivary glands (sialadenectomized) or the superior cervical ganglia (ganglionectomized) exacerbate the LPS-induced hypotension. (mean ± sem, n = 6 to 8). Adapted from [16].
