Increased fatty acid synthesis in macrophages caused by S. uberis. A Relative mRNA expression levels related to lipid synthesis in RAW264.7 cells during S. uberis invasion. Heatmap (on the left) and statistical chart (on the right). B Acox1 and Ehhadh mRNA expression relative to that of fatty acid β oxidation. C Cd36 mRNA relative expression related to fatty acid uptake. D–F NEFA, TG and TC contents in RAW264.7 cells during S. uberis challenge. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments. Data are presented as the means ± SEMs (n = 6, unless otherwise indicated). *(P < 0.05) = significantly different between the indicated groups by unpaired t test.
