Schematic representation of immunometabolism and its change in immune cells during ALI. During ALI, innate immune cells including macrophage, NK cell, neutrophil, dentric cell and adaptive immune cells including T and B cell go through magnificent change, of which metabolism counts. This figure roughly illustrates immunometabolism change in each cells including glycolysis, TCA cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway(PPP), fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, OXPHOS, inositol phosphate and glycerolipid metabolism and so on. Different immune cells exhibit specific metabolism change for normal immune function and superlative immune response. See text for further explanations and references.
