behavior/neurological
N |
• LPS-treated mice exhibit a normal increase in thigmotaxis and distance traveled in an open field is normal
|
• 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, LPS-treated mice exhibit reduced duration of immobility compared with wild-type mice
• however, LPS-treated mice exhibit normal suppression of sucrose preference
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increased kynurenine levels in the brain of LPS-treated mice
• increased 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid in the brain of untreated and LPS-treated mice
• LPS treatment fails to increase 3-hydroxykynurenine serum levels
