Endotoxemia produced no difference in (A) temperature, though (B) heart rate increased modestly from 4–8 hours relative to placebo (* p < 0.05, peak 4 hours). In addition, endotoxemia had no significant modulation in (C) growth hormone (p = 0.71, peak 18 hours), but had a transient increase in (D) serum cortisol (*p < 0.05, peak 6 hours). Data presented as mean ± SEM in panels A, B, and 95% CI in panels C, D (n = 10).
