Figure 5

Mice infected with 104 trypomastigotes and reached the peak of parasitemia at day 9 PI (A). At day 11 PI hearts were collected and atria and ventricles were analyzed separately. B and C: Western blot analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in the expression of Cx43 in both atria (28%) and ventricles (24%), (* p<0.05, ANOVA).
