Mitochondria play a critical role in the regulation of cellular metabolism in microglia after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Metabolic reprogramming in microglia cells during inflammation: in microglia cells, a short exposure to a low dose of LPS causes a transient increase in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). This increase in OXPHOS is however suppressed in response to a prolonged exposure to high dose of LPS, forcing a shift in metabolism towards glycolysis to match the metabolic demand.
