Dynamic of the expression of genes associated with hepatic lipid metabolism during S. japonicum infection. Liver tissues were prepared from S. japonicum infected mice at 0, 4, 7 and 11 weeks post-infection. The expression of genes related to fatty acid (FA) oxidation (Acox1, Cpt1, Ucp2, Atp5b, Pparg), FA synthesis (Fas, Acc, Scd1, Srebp1c) and lipid uptake (CD36) in the liver was evaluated by real-time PCR. The mRNA level of each gene was normalized to β-actin mRNA levels in each sample (ANOVA/LSD: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)
