behavior/neurological
• increased spontaneous alteration in LPS-treated mice during the Y-maze test compared with untreated mice and similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• in a tail suspension test, mice treated with LPS exhibit increased duration of immobility compared with wild-type mice
• however, LPS-treated mice exhibit normal suppression of sucrose preference
|
• in LPS-treated mice compared with wild-type mice
• however, distance traveled in an open field is normal
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increased kynurenine levels in the brain of untreated and LPS-treated mice
• increased kynurenic acid in the brains of untreated mice
• decreased serum kynurenic acid in LPS-treated mice
• LPS treatment fails to increase 3-hydroxykynurenine serum levels
