Influence of major components of essential oil from Chenopodium ambrosioides L. on the low molecular thiol status of Leishmania tarentolae promastigotes (LtP) after 5 hr incubation at 26 °C in phosphate‐buffered saline/glucose medium. Low molecular thiol status was assessed by measuring the rate of fluorescence evolution over 1 hr from the conjugation of CMF (arising from 5 μM CMFDA) to low molecular thiols in LtP (1 × 10⁷ cells/ml) in phosphate‐buffered saline/glucose. Results represent mean ± standard deviation of three experiments. ^*Significant differences versus LtP on the level p < .05. Asc = Ascaridole; Bu = buffer; Car = carvacrol; Caryo = caryophyllene oxide
