Gastrointestinal motility disturbances during endotoxemia are probably caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced factors: candidates include nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1ss, and interleukin-6. Flow cytometry was used to determine the effects of LPS and these factors on gastric emptying (evaluated indirectly by determining percent gastric retention; %GR) and gastrointestinal transit (GIT) in male BALB/c mice (23-28 g). NO (300 microg/mouse, N = 8) and TNF-alpha (2 microg/mouse, N = 7) increased (P &lt; 0.01) GR and delayed GIT, mimicking the effect of LPS (50 microg/mouse). During early endotoxemia (1.5 h after LPS), inhibition of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) by a selective inhibitor, 1400 W (150 microg/mouse, N = 11), but not antibody neutralization of TNF-alpha (200 microg/mouse, N = 11), reversed the increase of GR (%GR 78.8 +/- 3.3 vs 47.2 +/- 7.5%) and the delay of GIT (geometric center 3.7 +/- 0.4 vs 5.6 +/- 0.2). During late endotoxemia (8 h after LPS), both iNOS inhibition (N = 9) and TNF-alpha neutralization (N = 9) reversed the increase of GR (%GR 33.7 +/- 2.0 vs 19.1 +/- 2.6% (1400 W) and 20.1 +/- 2.0% (anti-TNF-alpha)), but only TNF-alpha neutralization reversed the delay of GIT (geometric center 3.9 +/- 0.4 vs 5.9 +/- 0.2). These findings suggest that iNOS, but not TNF-alpha, is associated with delayed gastric emptying and GIT during early endotoxemia and that during late endotoxemia, both factors are associated with delayed gastric emptying, but only TNF-alpha is associated with delayed GIT.
