Phagocytosis in Atgl^−/− and WT macrophages. A, MPM from Atgl^−/− and WT mice were cultivated in DMEM, 10% LPDS with 0, 6, and 25 mm glucose for 1 and 8 h, respectively. Phagocytosis of fluorescein-labeled E. coli particles is presented as mean values (n = 6) ± S.E. of two independent experiments. Phagocytosis of WT cells was arbitrarily set to 100%. *, p < 0.05; **, p ≤ 0.01; ***, p ≤ 0.001. B, representative images showing phagocytosis of yeast cells by Atgl^−/− and WT MPM after 8 h of cultivation in DMEM, 10% LPDS containing 0, 6, and 25 mm glucose. Original magnification, ×63.
