This study was performed to explore whether alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytosis would be impaired during endotoxemia. Therefore, we characterized in vivo AM phagocytic function in rats following either intravenous (IV) or intratracheal (IT) administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The IV administration of LPS to rats at dosages of 0, 1, 2, and 5 mg/kg showed that increasing LPS doses were significantly associated with ino eased AM phagocytosis of Au-198 colloid (P < .01), decreased recovery of AMs in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) (P = .017), no significant differences in neutrophil recovery by lavage (P = .15), or in the concentration of albumin in BAL (P = .14). Across the dosages of LPS administered IT (i.e., 0, 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg), there was no difference in AM phagocytosis (P = .29), a significant decrease in AM recovery (P = .002), a significant increase in neutrophil number (P = .01), and little effect on the concentration of albumin (P = .06). Thus, we found that the administration of endotoxin to mis did not impair in vivo AM phagocytic function. In fact, our findings suggest that the IV administration of LPS mar increase AM phagocytosis of Au-198.
