Fig. 5: The effects of FAS inhibition on LCFAs profile in WSSV-infected stomach.

C75 was injected into the shrimp 4 h after WSSV injection to inhibit FAS. The WSSV-infected groups were designated as WSSV/PBS and WSSV/C75 to denote WSSV-infected shrimp was injected with PBS or C75. PBS control groups were named as PBS/PBS and PBS/C75. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was employed to investigate the LCFAs profile in WSSV-infected stomach at a 12 hpi and b 24 hpi. FAS inhibition reduced production of the LCFAs at the late stage of infection. Each bar represents mean ± SD, n = 2–4 pool samples (3 shrimp per pool). Asterisks indicate differences between WSSV and PBS groups (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
