Figure 3.

Effect of diet on survival of CF1 control mice following injection of endotoxin (LPS) or PAF. Nontransgenic CF1 mice were maintained on the carbohydrate-rich and protein-rich diets as described for PC-12 transgenic mice in the legend to Fig. 1. The animals were injected with the indicated reagents, and survival was monitored over the next 7 days. GalN, when employed, was injected i.p. at a dose of 15 mg per animal. The number of animals used in each group is indicated above each bar. Hatched bars represent animals provided with the protein-rich diet, and open bars represent animals maintained on the carbohydrate-rich diet.
