behavior/neurological

hyperactivity ( J:107881 )

• mice exhibit increased spontaneous activity compared with wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism

increased circulating corticosterone level ( J:44206 )

• after 15 minutes, LPS-stressed mice exhibit a 1.8-fold increase in plasma corticosterone levels compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

• mice exposed to a novel environment exhibit a 2-fold increased corticosterone levels compared with similarly wild-type mice

• a IL1 receptor antagonist-treated mice treated with LPS or exposed to novelty exhibit increased corticosterone levels compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

• pre-treatment with corticotropin-releasing hormone attenuates the abnormal surge in corticosterone levels

• however, basal corticosterone levels are normal

increased circulating adrenocorticotropin level ( J:44206 )

• after 15 minutes, LPS-stressed mice exhibit an 8-fold increase in plasma adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) levels compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

• mice exposed to a novel environment exhibit a 3.5-fold increased ACTH levels compared with similarly wild-type mice

• a IL1 receptor antagonist-treated mice treated with LPS or exposed to novelty exhibit increased ACTH levels compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

• pre-treatment with corticotropin-releasing hormone attenuates the abnormal surge in ACTH levels

• however, basal ACTH levels are normal
