  1. Mice were given four injections of saline or MA (5 mg/kg) i.p. at 2 h intervals. Twenty-four hours after the first MA injection, mice were given either saline or LPS (100 μg/kg) and blood was collected at 4 h post-injection. *p < 0.01, different from saline controls. #p < 0.01 MA × LPS interaction
