Fig. 4: The effects of β-oxidation inhibition on LCFA profiles in WSSV-infected hepatopancreas.
From: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) modulates lipid metabolism in white shrimp
Hepatopancreas samples were collected from the WSSV-infected groups and PBS control groups at 12 and 24 hpi. The WSSV-infected groups were designated as WSSV/PBS and WSSV/Eto according to whether the WSSV-infected shrimps were treated with PBS or Etomoxir. Likewise, the PBS control groups were named PBS/PBS and PBS/Eto. LCFA profiles from a 12 and b 24 hpi were determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The β-oxidation inhibition disrupted the WSSV-induced LCFA consumption at 12 hpi. Each bar represents mean ± SD, n = 2 pool samples (3 shrimp per pool). Asterisks indicate differences between WSSV and PBS groups (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
