The effects of LPS injection after 24 h on the levels of intracellular glucose, trehalose, TPS enzyme activity, and the expressions of TPS and Treh in hemocytes. A) Trehalose: open bar at t = 0 h, solid bar at 24 h; B) Glucose: open bar at t = 0 h, solid bar at 24 h; C) TPS enzyme activity at 24 h; and D) expressions of TPS and Treh at 24 h: solid bar = TPS; open bar = Treh. Data is presented as mean ± 1 SE (n = 5–8) of trehalose in mg/mg protein in hemocyte extracts, of glucose in μg/mg protein in hemocyte extracts, of TPS enzyme activity in μmol/h/mg protein in hemocyte extracts and TPS and Treh expressions in copy number/μg total RNA. Statistical significance at P < 0.05 = *, at P < 0.05 = **, at P < 0.001 = ***.
