1 Next, the corticosterone peak induced by a protective dose of IL-1 (800 ng) was simulated by administration of synthetic human adrenocorticotropic hormone 1-24 (ACTH) in normal and neutropenic mice. Corticosterone proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
2 Next, the corticosterone peak induced by a protective dose of IL-1 (800 ng) was simulated by administration of synthetic human adrenocorticotropic hormone 1-24 (ACTH) in normal and neutropenic mice. Corticosterone proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
3 Although corticosterone levels induced by pretreatment with IL-1 or ACTH were virtually identical, the ACTH-induced corticosterone peak was not associated with protection against Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in normal mice and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in neutropenic mice. Corticosterone proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
4 In addition, we found that plasma corticosterone concentrations during K. pneumoniae infection were significantly lower after pretreatment with IL-1 than after pretreatment with ACTH or vehicle, probably reflecting the better physical condition of IL-1-treated mice. Corticosterone proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
