Incubation of FUBEC with LPS changes the distribution of [3H]-C18:1 between lipid classes. (a, b) Effect of LPS on the metabolism of different lipid classes. PL: phospholipids, TAG: triacylglycerols, DAG: diacylglycerols, CE: cholesterol esters. ((c), (d)) Time-course of the effect of LPS on [3H]-TAG level and on [3H]-C18:1 oxidation. Cells were preloaded with [3H]-С18:1 for 1 h and then rinsed and incubated with LPS (25 μg/ml, 21 h). At the end of the incubation, cells were harvested and total lipid extraction and TLC were performed. n=6 independent experiments. p< 0.01; p<0.001 versus control.
