Induction of tumor necrosis factor-α mRNA in the brain after peripheral endotoxin treatment: comparison with interleukin-1 family and interleukin-6
Abstract
The constitutive expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) mRNA and its induction (60 min later) by peripheral injection of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (2 mg/kg i.p.) was demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in the pituitary and hypothalamus but not in the striatum or hippocampus of the rat. The pattern of TNF alpha mRNA induction is different from that observed for mRNAs of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, IL-1ra and IL-6 respectively. This demonstration of the induction of TNF alpha in the brain may contribute to our understanding of the central effects of TNF alpha in fever and anorexia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
