Fig. 6From: Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse fatigue and its relevance to chronic fatigue syndromeEffect of NLRP3 deficiency on biochemical parameters in the CFS model. There was no such effect on lactic acid (a) and MDA levels (b serum; c muscle). NLRP3 KO mice had attenuated IL-1β production (d) in the CFS model when compared with that of wild-type mice. IL-6 production was almost the same between NLRP3 KO mice and wild-type mice (e). The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01 (independent t test).
