Interestingly‚ when mice are introduced to LPS along with a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (such as LDL cholesterol or estrogen)‚ it is reported to diminish the endotoxic activity of LPS. This suggests nitric oxide production (dependent on TNF-alpha stimulation) is responsible for endotoxic shock seen in response to Vibrio vulnificus
