Serum lipid levels in IL-6-treated mice [8]. (a) Experimental protocol. Mice () were given i.p. IL-6 (20 μg) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) twice a day 5 days per week for 2 weeks. (b) Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were measured with an automatic analyzer. Closed and open circles indicate control and IL-6-treated mice, respectively.
