BCM-exposed MΦs are metabolically distinct from PCM-exposed MΦs. Arrows adjacent to metabolite names are indicative of the metabolite level in BCM-exposed MΦs relative to PCM-exposed MΦs. Metabolites in gray were not detected in our NMR spectra. Metabolites in black were detected but were not significantly increased or decreased in BCM-exposed MΦs relative to PCM-exposed MΦs. Metabolites in red were significantly elevated in BCM-exposed MΦs relative to PCM-exposed MΦs, and metabolites in blue were significantly reduced in BCM-exposed MΦs relative to PCM-exposed MΦs. Regulation demonstrated by previous studies that are mentioned in the discussion are indicated with circles containing either a +/green for stimulation or -/red for inhibition.
