Involvement of HSP70 and HO-1 in the protective effects of raloxifene on multiple organ dysfunction syndrome by endotoxemia in ovariectomized rats

Conclusions: Long-term treatment with raloxifene reduces the severity of sepsis in OVX rats, attributed from up-regulation of HSP70 and HO-1 to exert the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. These findings provide new insights into bacterial infection during menopause and the molecular mechanism of raloxifene.
