Abstract:We investigated the protective effects of selenium (Se) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endometritis in mice.

Histopathological changes, expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-related signaling molecules and inflammatory cytokines, as well as tissue and lipid raft-associated cholesterol levels were measured in ex-vivo and in vitro experiments conducted with uterine tissues and cells. Results sh… Show more
