Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay evaluation for the IL-1β and IL-6 expression in whole fetal brains at E18.5 of gestation. (A) The results of ELISA for IL-1β and (B) the results for IL-6 proinflammatory cytokines. Bar graphs represent means and standard errors (P > .05, t test for both groups; n = 6 animals per treatment group). There was a 1.9-fold increase in IL-1β protein level in the LPS-exposed fetal brains over the NS-exposed fetal brains; this did not reach statistical significance (P > .05; t test; [A]). IL-6 protein level in the LPS-exposed fetal brains was statistically significantly increased as compared to NS-exposed fetal brains (2.6-fold increase; P < .05, t test; [B]). *P < .05.
