Figure 6. Offspring serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.

Figure 6

Effects of prenatal LPS exposure (100 µg/kg on GD 9.5) on serum IL-1β and TNF-α levels in adult male rat offspring on PND 60-67, with or without a LPS challenge 90 minutes prior to the test. SAL: prenatal saline injection; LPS: prenatal LPS injection; SAL+LPS: prenatal saline injection and LPS injection in the adulthood; LPS+LPS: prenatal and adult LPS injections; n = 7-10 rats/group. Pro-inflammatory cytokines serum levels were not detected in rats that were not challenged with LPS in adulthood (SAL and LPS groups). * p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test) compared with the SAL+LPS group. The values are given as the mean ± SEM.
