Effects of 1-MT on LPS-induced changes of TRP (A), KYN (B), KYN/TRP ratio (C), KYNA (D) and QUIN (E) in plasma. As a control for 1-MT-induced effects the excipient MYR was used. TRP and its metabolites were measured using MS/MS and the KYN/TRP ratio was used as a marker for IDO1 activity. LPS was injected i.p. directly after blood sampling at 0 h. The animals received the fifth s.c. 1-MT or MYR injection at 12 h after LPS. The results are presented as LS-means ± SE. Tukey–Kramer procedure was used for all pairwise comparisons. Significant differences are indicated between 1-MT and MYR groups for each time point by asterisks, and between the sampling times by hashes. For the sampling times 0, 1, 3, 6 h: n = 11-12/group (total n = 47); for time point 24 h: n = 5-6/group (total n = 23); *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05, # p < 0.01.
