Neostigmine Attenuates Proinflammatory Cytokine Expression in Preoptic Area but Not Choroid Plexus during Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Systemic Inflammation

Figure 1

Effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 400 ng/kg; iv.) and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: donepezil (2.5 mg/animal; iv.) and neostigmine (0.5 mg/animal; iv.) injections on the serum concentration of IL-1β in the samples collected three hours after the LPS treatment. The data are presented as the mean value ± SEM. Different capital letters indicate significant differences according to a two-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s post hoc test. Statistical significance was defined at .
