Plasma ACTH (A), corticosterone (B), and IL-6 (C) levels after injection with MCMV (1 × 105 PFU/mouse) or vehicle in sham-operated or hypophysectomized (hypox) C57BL/6 mice. Trunk blood was collected from mice at 36 h post-infection (n = 3–11 animals per group). ***p < 0.001; compared with media group within surgical-manipulation. ++p < 0.01; +++p < 0.001; compared with respective sham group. Two-way ANOVA indicated a significant interaction of surgery and infection on corticosterone and IL-6 responses for MCMV. Reprinted by permission from Silverman et al. (273).
