Immunomodulation and Antioxidant Activities as Possible Trypanocidal and Cardioprotective Mechanisms of Major Terpenes from <i>Lippia alba</i> Essential Oils in an Experimental Model of Chronic Chagas Disease

Immunomodulation and Antioxidant Activities as Possible Trypanocidal and Cardioprotective Mechanisms of Major Terpenes from <i>Lippia alba</i> Essential Oils in an Experimental Model of Chronic Chagas Disease

In the late phase of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> infection, parasite persistence and an exaggerated immune response accompanied by oxidative stress play a crucial role in the genesis of Chronic Chagasic Cardiomyopathy (CCC). Current treatments (Benznidazole (BNZ) and Nifurtimox) can effect...
