Effects of EA and Acu-exo on the survival rate and serum inflammatory cytokines of sepsis mice. A Survival rate within 7 days in LPS-induced sepsis mice (LPS, 12 mg/kg, i.p.) (n = 12/group) (*P<0.05, compared to the sepsis group). B Expression levels of serum inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β at 2 h after LPS challenge (LPS, 24 mg/kg, i.p.) (n = 5/group) (**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared to the PBS group. #P<0.05, ## P < 0.01, compared to the sepsis group). Acu-exo (EA7, 0.4 mg/mL, 0.1mL/10g, i.p.). All data represent the mean ± SEM
