Figure 2. NAC protects against membrane potential disruption caused by CCCP and monensin.
Flow cytometric analysis of MitoTracker staining in parasites treated with vehicle, CCCP (1 μM), or monensin (1 ng/mL) for 5 hours in the presence or absence of NAC (50 μM). (a–c) Representative distribution of parasites grown in the specified treatments. (d) The percentage of MitoTracker positive parasites by flow cytometry was quantified from 3 independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation. Statistical analysis was provided by student’s t-test, where **p < 0.001 and *p < 0.02.
