Excerpt

Albumin binds and detoxifies endotoxin in healthy people. Oxidative stress leads to protein oxidation and thus to impaired binding properties of albumin. This, in combination with increased gut permeability, leads to appearance of endotoxin in the systemic circulation and further to impaired organ function. We hypothesise that these processes occur in serum of brain-dead organ donors. …
