Triacylglycerol	Control	0.76 ± 0.07	0.04*
	LPS	0.57 ± 0.03
Free fatty acids	Control	0.06 ± 0.01	0.44
	LPS	0.08 ± 0.01
Cholesterol ester	Control	0.16 ± 0.03	0.4
	LPS	0.22 ± 0.07
Cholesterol	Control	0.12 ± 0.02	0.23
	LPS	0.15 ± 0.02
Monoacylglycerol	Control	0.07 ± 0.009	0.26
	LPS	0.06 ± 0.007
Phospholipid	Control	0.19 ± 0.01	0.19
	LPS	0.20 ± 0.008
