since endogenous serum pla2 levels correlate directly with the magnitude of hypotension in both experimental endotoxic shock and clinical septic shock , and since parenteral administration of purified exogenous pla2 reproduces hypotension in experimental models , we conclude that high levels of intravascular pla2 may contribute similarly to the circulatory collapse in septic shock in man .
