Intraperitoneal LPS infusion induces a COX-2-dependent neuroinflammation in the hippocampus. Tissue levels of IL-1β (a), IL-6 (b) and TNF-α (c) in hippocampus measured on 7 day after intraperitoneal infusion via an osmotic minipump of saline or LPS (2.5 mg/kg/day) for 7 days alone or with additional intracerebroventricular infusion of NS398 (5 μg/μl/h, dissolved in 1 % DMSO), tempol (2.5 μg/μl/h, dissolved in saline), or the corresponding vehicle. Values are mean ± SEM, n = 10–12 rats per group. *P <0.05 vs. saline-treated group; #P <0.05 vs. corresponding LPS-treated group in the post hoc Scheffé multiple-range test
