"Endotoxin levels" refers to the amount of harmful toxins present in the body that come from certain types of bacteria. These toxins can cause inflammation and other health problems. Monitoring
endotoxin levels can help identify potential sources of infection or inflammation.

The paper Peter cited actually found an increase in
blood endotoxin levels after people were fed a high - fat meal:
A friend sent me a study suggesting that
circulating endotoxin levels spike in diabetics who have eaten a high fat meal (I post this piece of science at the end of this message).
I'm not even sure what the relevance
of endotoxin levels are, although I know that endotoxin has been used as a therapy to cure some chronic infectious diseases for decades, particularly in Europe.
2) Sulforaphane decreases relative abundance of bacterial family Desulfobivrionaceae in the gut, which overproduces exdotoxin * 4 (LPS), thus decreasing
the endotoxin level in the blood to ameliorate metabolic endotoxemia * 5.
Endotoxin (LPS) derived from gram - negative bacteria in the gut proliferating with high fat diet is translocated into the body and
the endotoxin level in the blood is elevated to cause chronic inflammation of adipose tissues and the liver.
In the final 2100 h blood test,
the endotoxin levels were significantly higher in the five meal visit (P = 0.05), but not the two meal visit.
