Decreased Interleukin-4 Release from the Neurons of the Locus Coeruleus in Response to Immobilization Stress by Hyun-ju Lee, Hyun-Jung Park, Angela Starkweather, Kyungeh An, Insop Shim

“…Interleukin-4 (IL-4), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is known to regulate inflammation caused by immune challenge but the effect of IMO on modulation of IL-4 expression in the brain has not been assessed yet. Here, it was demonstrated that IL-4 was produced by noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) of the brain and release of IL-4 was reduced in response to IMO. …”
