In order to investigate the potential roles of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-18 and IL-6 in anorexia induction, mice were exposed with a common anorexigenic dose of 2.5 mg/kg BW DON, 3-ADON, 15-ADON, NIV and FX by two methods (IP vs. oral) using a previously established mouse anorexia model (46). The gene discussed is IL18; the disease is Anorexia.
