We have demonstrated that the hepatic function may have an important role in the development of tolerance to the pyrogenic effect induced by endotoxin. To further investigate if the role of the hepatic function in the development of tolerance also extends to that induced by other pyrogenic stimuli, we investigated the effect of galactosamine, a specific inhibitor of the hepatic protein synthesis, on the development of tolerance to the pyrogenic effect induced by muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in rats. Pyrogenic tolerance was observed after the second intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of MDP (500 μg/kg), 24 h after the first injection, similar to what was observed with endotoxin. Pyrogenic tolerance was abolished when galactosamine (300 mg/kg ip) was injected simultaneously with MDP (500 μg/kg iv) on the first day. When uridine (600 mg/kg ip) was administered simultaneously with galactosamine (300 mg/kg ip) and the first injection of MDP (500 μg/kg ip), pyrogenic tolerance was again observed after the second injection of the peptidoglycan. In conclusion, the hepatic function may not be important only for the development of tolerance to endotoxin, but also to a totally different pyrogenic stimulus such as MDP.
