L-arginine pretreatment ameliorates Lipopolysaccharide-induced thyroid gland dysfunction in male albino rats

Bacterial infection is one of the most common causes of systemic inflammatory syndrome known as sepsis. Previous studies have been shown that sever sepsis was often complicated with secondary multiple organs dysfunction. This syndrome may greatly affect thyroid gland function leading to thyroid g...
