NUR 530 Quiz 2 Study Guide Chapter 8 Endotoxins are released when the bacteria die/ the are produced by gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins released by blood-borne bacteria cause the release of vasoactive enzymes that increase the permeability of blood vessels. Bacteria injure cells by producing exotoxins or endotoxins. Exotoxins are enzymes that can damage the plasma membranes of host cells or can inactivate enzymes critical to protein synthesis, and endotoxins activate the inflammatory resp...
