Résumé

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Steroid hormones (e.g., estradiol, dehydroepiandosterone) have been suggested to reduce the hyper-inflammatory response of the immune system and to improve outcome in sepsis. We hypothesize that the impact of steroid hormones on the metabolic profile (metabolomic fingerprint) can be used to study and guide steroid hormone administration in sepsis. Potential biomarker candidates are sphingomyelines and phosphatidylcholines.
