Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNitric Oxide Donors with Therapeutic Strategic in Experimental Schistossomiasis MansoniWander Rogério Pavanelli, Jean Jerley Nogueira da Silva, Carolina Panis et al.Schistosomiasis, an immune disease, remains a major public health problem in endemic area. To determine the influence of Nitric Oxide (NO) on this disease, we tested two compounds (Trans-[Ru(bpy)2(NO)SO3](PF6)-PF6 and Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]-SNP, which releases NO when activated by biological reducing agents, in BALB/c mice infected subcutaneously by Schistosoma BH strains. The parasitic activity of NO-donors was evaluated in this model by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Feb 2015 · 7,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Properties of Kaurenoic Acid on Macrophages of BALB/c in VitroJuliana Aparecida Macri, Suelen Santos da Silva, Milena Menegazzo Miranda et al.Kaurenoic acid has been displaying anti-inflammatory effect described in different models. However, the per se immunomodulatory effects of kaurenoic acid remain to be investigated. Thus, the immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of kaurenoic acid were investigated in vitro on peritoneal macrophages from BALB/c mice.
