Figure Lengend Snippet: Glucose supplementation protects the host from lethal outcomes during sepsis (A) Blood glucose level in septic mice after the intraperitoneal injection of E. coli ( n = 17 in the glucose-treated Trem2 −/− group, n = 16 in the glucose-treated WT group, n = 15 in the saline-treated Trem2 −/− group, n = 17 in the saline-treated WT group), data are presented as mean ± SEM, the p values were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test at 9 h. (B-C) Plasma levels of IL-1 β and insulin at 9 h after the intraperitoneal injection of E. coli ( n = 17 in the glucose-treated Trem2 −/− group, n = 16 in the glucose-treated WT group, n = 15 in the saline-treated Trem2 −/− group, n = 17 in the saline-treated WT group), data are presented as mean ± SEM, the p values were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test. (D) Bacterial load in the livers and spleens at 9 h after the intraperitoneal injection of E. coli ( n = 17 in the glucose-treated Trem2 −/− group, n = 16 in the glucose-treated WT group, n = 15 in the saline-treated Trem2 −/− group, n = 17 in the saline-treated WT group), data are presented as median ± interquartile range, the p values were determined by the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Dunn’s post hoc test. (E) Percentage survival of mice after the intraperitoneal injection of E. coli ( n = 12 per group), the p values were analyzed by the Mantel-Cox test. (F) Death of peritoneal macrophages at 9 h after the intraperitoneal injection of E. coli ( n = 6 per group), data are presented as mean ± SEM, the p values were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test. (G) LDH level in PLF at 9 h after the intraperitoneal injection of E. coli ( n = 6 per group), data are presented as mean ± SEM, and the p values were determined by Student’s t test. TREM2, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2; WT, wild type; PI, propidium iodide; PLF, peritoneal lavage fluid; LDH, lactic dehydrogenase; CFU, colony-forming units.
