Schematic overview of the experimental design. Male mice on a Bl6 (n = 56) and 129Sv (n = 56) background were used in this study. Mice from both strains were randomly assigned to three different experimental groups: cohort 1 was used to determine the effect of LPS on locomotor activity (Bl6 n = 16; 129Sv n = 16); cohort 2 was used to study the effect of LPS on the profile of blood metabolites after 1.5 h treatment (Bl6 n = 20; 129Sv n = 20); cohort 3 was used to study the effect of LPS on the profile of blood metabolites after 24 h treatment (Bl6 n = 20; 129Sv n = 20). In each cohort, both strains were further divided into two groups: LPS administration group and control group (saline administration).
