Lipopolysaccharide Challenge Reveals Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dysfunction in Murine Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Study explores whether chronic inflammatory processes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are in part due to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction by challenging female control and SLE mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and measuring c-Fos expression as an index of neuronal activation, plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) as an index of anterior pituitary function, and plasma corticosterone as an index of adrenal function.
