Glucose uptake is specifically increased in hepatoma cells containing developing P. berghei parasites. A. 2‐NBDG uptake by different cell populations, normalised to cell size, at different time points of infection, assessed by flow cytometry. Error bars represent standard deviation. Two‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post‐test Bonferroni. B. 2‐NBDG uptake by naïve Huh7 cells, cells containing developing P. berghei parasites at 48 hpi, and cells subjected to low‐temperature, high‐temperature and ethanol‐induced oxidative stresses, assessed by flow cytometry. Pool of two independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation. One‐way ANOVA with post‐test Dunnet. C. 2‐NBDG uptake by naïve Huh7 cells and cells infected with MHV‐68 at different multiplicity of infection, assessed by flow cytometry. Pool of two independent experiments. Error bars represent Standard error of the mean (SEM). One‐way ANOVA with post‐test Dunnet. ns, not significant; ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001. PFU, plaque‐forming unit.
