Experiment design. All animals were randomly divided into control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group and hypertonic saline (HS) group. The LPS group was given LPS as a single injection of 10 mg/kg i.p.. The HS group was given 3% NaCl as a single injection of 20 ml/kg i.v. through the tail vein at 6 hours following injection of LPS, and the control group received 0.9% NaCl as control. The mice were sacrificed at 8 hours or 12 hours after injection of LPS and their brains harvested.
