Tumors alter circulating cytokine and corticosterone responses to LPS. Mean ± SEM (A) IL-1β, (B) IL-6, (C) TNF-α, (D) CXCL1 (pg/ml), (E) corticosterone (ng/ml) in surgical controls, tumor-bearing mice, and tumor-resected mice (n = 10–20/group); &p < 0.05 relative to PBS-treated mice; #p < 0.05 relative to 24 h; *p < 0.05 relative to other treatments at the same time point.
