Activation of the ovine hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and febrile response by interleukin-6: A comparative study with bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin

Sheep were subjected to immune challenge with either recombinant human interleukin-6 (rhIL-6; 2.0 μg/kg; n = 5), Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin (400 ng/kg; n = 7), or saline (n = 6) to determine if IL-6 activates the febrile and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) respons...
