Heat treatment with prior LPS treatment increased systemic inflammatory cytokine levels in mice. Serum inflammatory cytokines were measured in four animal groups by using ELISA. a IL-1β was measured in four groups. b IL-6 was measured in four groups. c TNF-α was measured in four groups. d Heat treatment with prior LTA treatment increased systemic IL-1β cytokine levels in mice. Serum IL-1β cytokines were measured in four animal groups by using ELISA. The average number was calculated as the mean ± SEM. (n = 5 to 10). The average number was calculated as the mean ± SEM. (n = 5 to 10). **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05
