Elevations in endotoxin levels were recorded in one sampling in three of the seven sheep during the acute stage of the disease. The elevations in endotoxin levels were of short duration and decreased in the 24-h follow-up samples. There was no elevation of leukotrienes (B₄ , C₄ and D₄) in the blood, or the thoracic or pericardial fluid of any of the sheep.en© ARC-Onderstepoort (original). © University of Pretoria.
