Figure 4 Lipopolysaccharide stimulation increased interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 mRNA, and IL-1RA transcription in the liver. Liver mRNA levels of IL-1β (A), IL-18 (B) and IL-1RA (C) were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and normalized to 18S. Mean ± SD are shown. n = 3 per group [except at 2 h lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, where n = 2 due to outlier], aP < 0.01, bP < 0.03.
