Glycolytic responses in Cryptosporidium parvum-infected BSIEC. Glycolytic responses were monitored via extracellular acidification rates (ECAR) in C. parvum-infected and non-infected BSIEC at 3, 6, and 12 hpi, evidencing a parasite-driven upregulation of glycolysis (a,b) and glycolytic capacity (c) at 6 hpi. An increase in glycolytic reserve was also observed (d), but proved barely significant. Statistical significance (* p < 0.05, ns = non-significant) was determined via t-test, comparing infected to non-infected (controls), followed by Dunnett’s test correction. Bars represent mean ± SD (n = 3).
