Effects of AHBuBP and MP-AHPrBP on the P. intermedia LPS-induced elevation of HDC activity in the mandible of control and IL-1-KO BALB/cA mice. The data from two experiments are shown in this figure. In each experiment, some control and IL-1-KO BALB/cA mice were injected with saline (S) and others with AHBuBP (40 μmol kg⁻¹, i.p.) (left panels) or MP-AHPrBP (40 μmol kg⁻¹, i.p.) (right panels). Three days later, they were injected with P. intermedia LPS (0.1 mg kg⁻¹ i.v.) or saline and killed 4 h thereafter. Each value is the mean±s.d. from four mice $P<0.05 vs S+S. ^*P<0.05 vs S+LPS and aminoBP+S. @P<0.05 vs corresponding value (S+LPS) in control BALB/cA mice.
