		Before	1 week
BW (g)	Control	249.3 ± 7.0	276.7 ± 6.2
	IL-1β	248.4 ± 13.5	263.2 ± 21.0
SBP (mmHg)	Control	202 ± 20	203 ± 16
	IL-1β	200 ± 14	199 ± 16
IL-1β (pg/mL)	Control	62.5 ± 29.2	56.1 ± 24.5
	IL-1β	62.6 ± 31.8	112.2 ± 49.0*

Data presented as mean ± SD. Body weight (BW), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and plasma level of IL-1β were measured before (10 weeks of age) and 1 week after the initiation of IL-1β administration. Food intake (Intake) is presented as the mean weight of food eaten per day during the first week of IL-1β administration. *𝑃<0.05, ***𝑃<0.001 versus Control. 𝑛=10 in each group.
