Fig.2. Dendrite Protrusion of Intestinal Macrophages by Lactate and Pyruvate

Caption

Mice were orally administered with lactate or pyruvate for three weeks. 3D images of small intestinal villi were shown. Macrophages were marked in green, and their trans-epithelial dendrites were indicated by arrows. Administration of lactate or pyruvate dramatically increased the number of dendrites of macrophages in wild-type mice, but not in GPR31-deficient mice.
