LPS administration acutely induced inflammation in different brain regions. (A, B) Mice, LPS administration increased levels of cytokines including IL-6 (serum: 82.23 ± 29.99 vs 38.73 ± 10.10, N = 6 vs 5, cortex: 1.11 ± 0.19 vs 0.57 ± 0.07, N = 5, hippocampus: 1.00 ± 0.16 vs 0.79 ± 0.10, N = 5) and TNF-α (serum: 91.84 ± 9.60 vs 81.31 ± 2.13, N = 6 vs 5, cortex: 1.12 ± 0.15 vs 0.64 ± 0.18, N = 4, hippocampus: 1.14 ± 0.22 vs 1.07 ± 0.16, N = 5) in the serum and cortex (P 0.05), and the level of IL-6 in the hippocampus. with 2 weeks of prior XYW administration (LPS + XYW), exhibited significantly lower levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6) (serum: 82.23 ± 29.99 vs 49.01 ± 7.78, N = 6, cortex: 1.11 ± 0.19 vs 0.95 ± 0.19, N = 5, hippocampus: 1.00 ± 0.16 vs 0.73 ± 0.09, N = 5) and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) [serum: 91.84 ± 9.60 vs 88.51 ± 1.51, N = 6 vs 5, cortex: 1.12 ± 0.15 vs 0.89 ± 0.06, N = 4, hippocampus:1.14 ± 0.22 vs 0.76 ± 0.02, N = 5] in different regions (P 0.05) (A1-2, B1-2: t-test, A3, B3: Mann-Whitney test). (C, F) Rats, LPS increased levels of IL-6 (serum:128.18 ± 29.32 vs 97.34 ± 4.38 (control) vs 88.60 ± 8.53 (sham), N = 8 vs 6 vs 6, cortex:2.10 ± 0.42 vs 1.06 ± 0.41 (control) vs 1.08 ± 0.46 (sham), N = 6, hippocampus: 2.18 ± 0.43 vs 1.03 ± 0.30 (control) vs 1.37 ± 0.34 (sham), N = 6 vs 5 vs 5, cortex (IL-6/DAPI): 0.46 ± 0.03 vs 0.27 ± 0.03 (control) vs 0.28 ± 0.02 (sham), N = 4 vs 5 vs 5, hippocampus (IL-6/DAPI): 0.29 ± 0.07 vs 0.17 ± 0.04 (control) vs 0.17 ± 0.01 (sham), N = 5 vs 4 vs 5) and TNF-α [serum: 47.03 ± 19.28 vs 25.12 ± 11.84 (control) vs 17.49 ± 11.53 (sham), N = 7 vs 8 vs 7, cortex:1.58 ± 0.34 vs 1.04 ± 0.31 (control) vs 0.97 ± 0.57 (sham), N = 6, hippocampus:1.34 ± 0.22 vs 0.99 ± 0.08 (control) vs 1.02 ± 0.31 (sham), N = 6 vs 5 vs 5] (P 0.05 or P 0.01), with 2 weeks of prior XYW administration (LPS + XYW), exhibited significantly lower levels of cytokines including IL-6 (serum: 128.18 ± 29.32 vs 132.40 ± 40.05 (0.93 g/kg) vs 90.73 ± 13.78 (1.86 g/kg), N = 8, cortex: 2.10 ± 0.42 vs 1.12 ± 0.38 (0.93 g/kg) vs 1.01 ± 0.58 (1.86 g/kg), N = 6, hippocampus:2.18 ± 0.43 vs 0.94 ± 0.20 (0.93 g/kg) vs 0.86 ± 0.36 (1.86 g/kg), N = 6 vs 5 vs 6, cortex (IL-6/DAPI): 0.46 ± 0.03 vs 0.40 ± 0.05 (0.93 g/kg) vs 0.28 ± 0.04 (1.86 g/kg), N = 4 vs 5 vs 5, hippocampus (IL-6/DAPI): 0.29 ± 0.07 vs 0.24 ± 0.04 (0.93 g/kg) vs 0.17 ± 0.03 (1.86 g/kg), N = 5) and TNF-α [serum:47.03 ± 19.28 vs 10.94 ± 9.81 (0.93 g/kg) vs 15.26 ± 9.17 (1.86 g/kg), N = 7, cortex: 1.58 ± 0.34 vs 1.02 ± 0.29 (0.93 g/kg) vs 1.06 ± 0.37 (1.86 g/kg), N = 6, hippocampus: 1.34 ± 0.22 vs 1.06 ± 0.27 (0.93 g/kg) vs 0.99 ± 0.15 (1.86 g/kg), N = 6 vs 5 vs 6] in peripheral and central brain regions (P 0.05 or P 0.01). (C1, D1: Mann-Whitney test, C2, D2-3, F2: t-test, C3, F1: one-way ANOVA). Compared with the control group, # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01. Compared with the LPS group, *P < 0.05,**P < 0.01.
