Table 1. Metabolic effects of viral infections.

Virus	Metabolic effect	Ref.
VACV, DENV	Alteration of glycolysis, FAS, and glutaminolysis	(15)
HCMV	de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic flux in host cells	(4)
HCMV, influenza A	Inhibition of FAS, suppression of replication HCMV and influenza A	(27)
HCMV	Infection requirement of long chain FA metabolism: acyl-CoA synthetases and fatty acid elongases	(18)
KSHV	Inhibition of FAS and decrease in number of lytic enveloped viruses, induced apoptosis infected cells	(10)
EBV, VZV, poliovirus, HCV	Inhibition of FAS, lower number of infectious virus	(2,32–35)

This table summarizes the main effects that viral infections have over metabolism. VACV: vaccinia virus; DENV: Dengue virus; HCMV: Human Cytomegalovirus; KSHV: Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus; EBV: Epstein-Barr virus; HCV: Hepatitis C virus; FA: Fatty Acids; FAS: Fatty Acids Synthesis; TCA: tricarboxylic acid cycle.
