a Heatmap showing increased levels of pyruvate and citrate in the lungs of mice treated with LPS compared to normal saline (n = 3). b The fold changes of pyruvate and citrate were calculated relative to the normal saline group (n = 3). Dots, individual mice. ce The citrate concentrations in the BALF, lungs, and serum of LPS-induced ALI mice were increased (n = 8–10). f LPS-treated MLE12 cells (12 h) showed enrichment of citrate (n = 3). The data are shown as the mean ± SD. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
