Alteration in the lipid profiles of the lungs from uninfected, <i>Pb</i>NK65 or <i>Pc</i>AS infected mice.

<p>Mice infected with <i>Pb</i>NK65 (treated or not intraperitoneally with DEX 80mg/kg) or <i>Pc</i>AS were perfused and dissected at day 8 and 10 post infection. The total content of PL (panel A), ChoE (panel B), PC (panel C) /mg protein were determined as described in Materials and Methods. n = 6 mice for each condition; *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.0001 vs CTR; °p< 0.05; °°p<0.01; °°°p<0.0001 vs <i>Pc</i>AS for each time point; $ p<0.05 <i>Pb</i>NK65-DEX vs <i>Pb</i>NK65 day 10. PL = phospholipids; ChoE = Cholesterol Esters; PC = phosphatidylcholine.
