Fig. 3From: Schistosoma japonicum infection causes a reprogramming of glycolipid metabolism in the liverThe effects of SEA on the expression of genes associated with glycolipid metabolism in macrophage in vitro. PBS (control) or 20 μg/ml SEA was added into RAW264.7 cells for 24 h at 37 °C. The expression of genes related glucose metabolism (a), lipid metabolism (b) and inflammatory factors (c) in RAW264.7 cells was evaluated by real-time PCR. The expression levels for each gene were normalized to the level in macrophages treated with PBS. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments with similar results (Student’s t-test: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)Back to article page
