Abstract
Hyperlipidemia frequently accompanies infectious
diseases and may be due to increases in lipoprotein production
or decreases in lipoprotein clearance. The administration of endotoxin
(LPS) has been used to mimic infection and prior
studies demonstrate that LPS produces hypertriglyceridemia. In
the present study in rodents, the dose of LPS necessary to induce
hyperlipidemia was orders of magnitude less than that necessary
to induce shock and death. As little as 10 ng/100 g body weight
induced hypertriglyceridemia and this increase in serum
triglyceride levels occurred rapidly (78% increase at 2 h). At
high doses of LPS (50 pg/lOO g body weight), the clearance of
triglyceride-rich lipoproteins was decreased. At low doses of LPS
(100 ng/100 g body weight), triglyceride clearance was not altered
but the hepatic secretion of triglyceride was increased. Low
dose LPS stimulated hepatic de novo fatty acid synthesis and
lipolysis, both of which provided a source of fatty acids for the
increase in hepatic triglyceride production. High dose LPS did
not increase hepatic fatty acid synthesis or peripheral lipolysis,
and hepatic triglyceride secretion was not stimulated. Thus, low
dose LPS produces hypertriglyceridemia by increasing hepatic
lipoprotein production, while high dose LPS produces hypertriglyceridemia
by decreasing lipoprotein catabolism. Administration
of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies or interleukin
1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist did not prevent the increase
in serum triglyceride levels induced by LPS. However, anti-TNF
antibodies and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-lra)
blocked the increase in serum triglycerides induced by TNF or
IL-1, respectively. These data suggest that neither of these
cytokines is absolutely required for the increase in serum
triglycerides induced by LPS, raising the possibility that other
cytokines, small molecular mediators, or LPS itself may play a
crucial role.-Feingold, K. R., I. Staprans, R. A. Memon, A. H.

Good study. Here is also a good study relating to common lungworm found in those with lyme. I'm too tired to do excerpts from the study so make sure you read all of it as it has some good quotes in it.

This is a pretty good summary of a bunch of different probiotic strains. Below shows B. Bifidum's ability to fight endotoxin... I won't be taking it for a little while at least since the SCD diet I'm trying warns against it in early stages.

Bifidobacteria bifidum
This bacteria is one of the major constituents of the normal flora in the colon and is the most common Bifidobacteria species found in probiotic products. It is reportedly well tolerated, reduces the inflammatory response in the colon and stimulates the body's fluid immunity. A study carried out at the Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo, NY showed that B.bifidum can significantly reduce the intestinal concentration of endotoxin, which is made up of the cell walls of dead bacteria and is toxic if allowed to build up17. In another study B.bifidum of human origin was found to adhere well to the intestinal wall and significantly reduce the ability of pathogenic E.coli to do the same18. Research carried out by the Yakult company who manufacture probiotic drinks showed that their patented strain of B.bifidum had significant anti-oxidant action and was able to protect the intestinal lining from lipid peroxidation in iron overloaded mice19.
