From: Effect of benznidazole on cerebral microcirculation during acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice
Analysis of the number of F4-80+ cells by immunohistochemistry in mice’s brain at 15 dpi. YNT group (B) presented increased number of F4-80+ cells when compared to NINT control group (A). Benznidazole treatment schemes (C and D) were able to prevent this increase. Graphic indicates the number of F4-80+ cells per mm2 (E). Arrows indicate positive cells. NI: non infected, Y: infected, 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.
