Expression data of the livers of male C57Bl6/N mice after i.p. injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The intraperitoneal (i.p.) application of LPS into mice represents a frequently applied experimental model to induce hepatic and systemic inflammation. C57BL6/N mice (8-10 weeks old, male) received intraperitoneal injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 750 µg/kg b.w. in PBS. LPS from Escherichia coli O55:B5 was used (Sigma-Aldrich, L2880-25mg, Germany). Liver tissue was harvested 24 hours after LPS injection. The mice received standard diet ad libitum before and after LPS administration. This data set contains 5 mice injected with LPS and 3 control mice that received injections of PBS.
