Abstract
There is a direct correlation between the development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and the elevated mortality associated with sepsis. The mechanisms responsible for MODS development are being studied, however, the main efforts regarding MODS evaluation have focused on oxygen delivery optimization and on the modulation of the characteristic inflammatory cascade of sepsis, all with negative results. Recent studies have shown that there is development of tissue acidosis, even when there are normal oxygen conditions and limited presence of tissue cellular necrosis or apoptosis, which would indicate that cellular energetic dysfunction may be a central element in MODS pathogenesis. Mitochondrias are the main source of cellular energy, central regulators of cell death and the main source for reactive oxygen species. Several mechanisms contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction during sepsis, that is blockage of pyruvate entry into the Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation substrate use in other enzymatic complexes, enzymatic complex inhibition and membrane damage mediated by oxidative stress, and reduction in mitochondrial content. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is a nuclear transcription factor with a...Continue Reading
