Interleukin-1 mediates the behavioral hyperalgesia produced by lithium chloride and endotoxin
Abstract
The sickness-inducing agents lithium chloride (LiCl) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produce a long-lasting facilitation of the nociceptive tailflick reflex. Many of the behavioral and physiological changes produced by illness are mediated by interleukin-1 (IL-1) released from monocytes stimulated by the pathogenic substance. Monocytes also produce an IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) which has been sequenced and cloned. The present experiments report that IL-1 can itself produce hyperalgesia as assessed by tailflick to radiant heat, and that recombinant IL-1ra blocks the hyperalgesia produced by LiCl and LPS.

Peripheral lipopolysaccharide in rodents increases pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and causes marked hyperalgesia that is abolished by an IL-1 receptor antagonist or a TNFα antagonist.
“Lipopolysaccharide administered peripherally in rodents results in enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and marked hyperalgesia that is abolished by administration of an IL-1 receptor antagonist”

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.
