Figure 5.

Comparison of the effects of treatment with corticosterone (Cort, 500 μg kg⁻¹, i.p.) and annexin 1_{Ac2 – 26} (0.1 – 10 ng rat⁻¹, i.c.v.) on the resting plasma ACTH (a), serum GH (b) and serum LH (c) concentrations in rats and on the responses to IL-1β (10 ng rat⁻¹, i.c.v.). Values represent the mean±s.e.mean (n=6). ^*P<0.05, ^**P<0.01 vs annexin 1 vehicle alone (Veh, 3 μl rat⁻¹). ^††P<0.01 vs IL-1β alone (ANOVA plus Duncan's test).
