Table 1. Respiration of Leishmania donovani amastigote and promastigote cells.

The oxygen consumption is expressed as nanomole per min by 10⁶ cells.

Cells	No inhibitor	1 mM KCN	0.1 mM SHAM
amastigotes	0.241 ±0.063	Not detectable	0.144
promastigotes	0.263 ±0.018	0.008 ±0.007	0.239

SHAM, salicylhydroxamic acid
