description <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of meloxicam on serum vitamin and cytokine levels during lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxemia. Serum biochemical concentrations were also evaluated.<p> <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Fifty male adult Sprague Dawley rats were used in this research. Five rats were reserved to obtain 0 time data then the rest were divided into 3 equal groups. First group received lipopolysaccharide (4 mg, intraperitoneal), second group received meloxicam (50 mg/ kg, intraperitoneal) and third group received lipopolysaccharide (4 mg, intraperitoneal) plus meloxicam (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). Blood samples were collected at 2, 4 and 8 hours after administrations. Serum retinol, &#946;-carotene, vitamin C, interleukin-1&#945;, interleukin-1&#946;, interleukin-2 and routine biochemical values were measured.<p> <b>Results:</b> After lipopolysaccharide administration, decreased &#946;-carotene level (p<0.05) was inhibited by meloxicam while increased interleukin-1&#945; level (p<0.05) could not. Lipopolysaccharide caused increase in damage indicator levels of heart, liver, kidney besides cholesterol and triglyceride (p<0.05) while meloxicam administration was inhibited increase in creatine kinase-MB and cholesterol levels but caused more increase in urea and triglyceride levels.<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> Meloxicam may be useful in inhibiting vitamin loses and heart damage. In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and vitamin supplementation may be useful during acute phase of endotoxemia.
