Consumption of a novel liquid diet (Prosobee) in wild-type (TNF+/+) and TNFα knock-out (TNF-/-) mice. A, Mean in take (±SE) of Prosobee in wild-type and knock-out mice after injection of 10 μg of SEA (n = 6 per strain) or saline (n = 5-7 per strain). B, Mean intake (±SE) of Prosobee in wild-type and knock-out mice after injection of 100 ng of murine recombinant IL-1β (n = 6 per strain) or saline (n = 5 per strain). C, Effect of pretreatment with hamster IgG (SEA, n = 5; saline, n = 4) or hamster anti-mouse TNFα antibody (SEA, n = 6; saline, n = 4) on mean intake (±SE) of Prosobee in wild-type C57BL/6J mice that were given injections of 10 μg of SEA or saline. *p < 0.05 (unpaired Student's t test) relative to corresponding saline control. Wt, Wild-type; ko, knock-out.
