Endotoxin, via cytokines, induces marked changes in lipid metabolism which are now considered part of the acute phase response. The endotoxin induced hyperlipidemia may represent a nonspecific immune response that can decrease the toxicity of a variety of harmful biological and chemical agents and serve to redistribute nutrients to cells important in host defense. The endotoxin induced changes in lipid metabolism may therefore be beneficial.
内毒素通过细胞因子诱导脂质代谢发生显著变化，目前这些变化被认为是急性期反应的一部分。内毒素诱导的高脂血症可能代表一种非特异性免疫反应，它可以降低多种有害生物和化学物质的毒性，并有助于将营养物质重新分配到对宿主防御至关重要的细胞中。因此，内毒素诱导的脂质代谢变化可能是有益的。
