The present study was designed to evaluate the influence of metabolic stress on murine cytokine production in vivo. Female Swiss-Webster mice were exposed to a single or multiple injections of the metabolic stressor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG; 500 mg/kg body wt) once every 48 h and then were injected intravenously with 10 micrograms of bacterial lipopolysaccharide to stimulate macrophage-derived cytokine production. Plasma samples were harvested 2 h later and were assayed for interleukin (IL)-1, IL-3, and IL-6 activities using a panel of standardized bioassays. It was found that one, two, or three injections of 2-DG enhanced the production of all three cytokines. An attenuation of the enhancing effect was observed following the fourth and fifth injections. These results demonstrate that the metabolic stressor 2-DG can alter immune cell effector functions, including the enhancement of normal patterns of cytokine production in vivo.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007375	Interleukin-1	A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D007378	Interleukins	Soluble factors which stimulate growth-related activities of leukocytes as well as other cell types. They enhance cell proliferation and differentiation, DNA synthesis, secretion of other biologically active molecules and responses to immune and inflammatory stimuli.	Interleukin
D008070	Lipopolysaccharides	Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed)	Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
