From: Effect of benznidazole on cerebral microcirculation during acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice
Capillaries functional density analysis by intravital microscopy in mice’s brain at 15 dpi. YNT group (B) had decreased number of capillaries in when compared to NINT group (A). Benznidazole treatment schemes prevented this decrease (C, D). Graphic indicate the number of spontaneously perfused capillaries (E). Arrows indicate non perfused capillaries. NT, non treated; BZ, treated with benznidazole (100 mg/kg/day); BZ/2, treated with benznidazole (50 mg/kg/day); dpi, days post-infection. *when compared to NINT; #when compared to YNT; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
