Figure 1From: Starvation of low-density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol induces bradyzoite conversion in Toxoplasma gondiiParasite growth in the presence of LDL, fatty acids, or glucose. Uracil incorporation was assayed using CHO cells infected with the ME49 strain of T. gondii for 20 h in medium containing 5% LPDS treated with LDL or oleic acid at the concentrations indicated (A), or in glucose-free medium containing 10% FBS treated with glucose at the concentrations indicated (B). Data are expressed as a percentage relative to the control (incubation without lipid or glucose), which was taken as 100% ± the standard deviation (n = 4).Back to article page
