Popis: Hypercortisolemia directly before the administration of endotoxin (LPS) to normal humans completely prevents the release of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor, whereas hypercortisolemia 12 h to 7 days before the injection of LPS is associated with enhanced tumor necrosis factor release. To determine the effect of elevated cortisol levels on the secretion of the antiinflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10), 23 healthy men were given iv LPS (lot EC-5; 2 ng/kg) alone or in combination with a continuous iv infusion of hydrocortisone (3 micrograms/kg.min) for 6 h immediately before or 6, 12, or 144 h before LPS injection. LPS induced a monophasic increase in plasma IL-10 concentrations that peaked after 2 h (162 +/- 27 pg/mL; P
