Fig 1. Cross-regulation of cardiac metabolic pathways by immune cell responses and Trypanosoma cruzi in the heart.

Fig 1

Production of inflammatory mediators including IFN-γ, IFN-α, TGF-β, and NO can affect the metabolic profile of cardiac tissue, as can T. cruzi itself. Parasite mediators of cardiac metabolic modulation are still to be discovered. Created with BioRender.com. IFN-α, interferon-α; IFN-γ, interferon-γ; NO, nitric oxide; TCA, tricarboxylic acid; TGF-β, transforming growth factor-β.
