| Sumario: | Sepsis is the most common cause of death from infection in the world. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment for patients with sepsis, and management relies on infection control and support of organ function. A better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of this syndrome will help to develop innovative therapies. In this regard, it has been widely reported that endothelial cell activation and dysfunction are major contributors to the development of sepsis. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging findings highlighting the prominent role of mitochondria in the endothelial response in in vitro experimental models of sepsis. Additionally, we discuss potential mitochondrial targets that have demonstrated protective effects in preclinical investigations against sepsis. These promising findings hold the potential to pave the way for future clinical trials in the field. |
