Maternal LB treatment significantly reduces systemic inflammation induced by postnatal IL-1β insult in the offspring. Systemic levels of IL-6 (a), KC (b), MCP-1 (c), IL-1α (d), and IL-1β (e) at two weeks of age (at least n = 3) and IL-6 (f), KC (g), MCP-1 (h), IL-1α (i), and IL-1β (j) at four weeks of age (n = 3) were measured by ELISA in serum four hours after saline or IL-1β (i.p.) injection. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. Bars with ⎴ denote significant difference between experimental groups (at least p < 0.05).
