Cytokine production was significantly enhanced by exposure to social disruption. 5×105 spleen cells were culture with 10 μg/ml of P. gingivalis LPS with increasing doses of corticosterone for 18 h. Cytokine levels in the supernatants were determine via ELISA. For both IL-1β and TNF-α, cytokine levels were higher in cultures containing splenocytes from stressed mice at all dose of corticosterone (p < .05). n = 5 per group.
