Abstract Introduction Dehydroepiandrosterone DHEA improves survival after trauma and sepsis while mechanisms of action are not yet fully understood. Therefore we investigated the influence of DHEA on local cytokine expression in a two-hit model. Methods Male NMRI mice were subjected to femur fracture hemorrhagic shock and subsequent sepsis. Sham-operated animals were used as controls. DHEA 25 mg kg or vehicle was administered daily. Mortality rate activity and body temperature were determined daily after sepsis induction. TNF-a IL-1P and IL-10 mRNA expression pattern were investigated in lung and liver tissue after 48 and 96 hours. Results DHEA treatment resulted in a significantly reduced mortality rate and improvements in the clinical status. On cytokine level only TNF-a was significantly reduced in the cecal ligation and puncture CLP -vehicle .
