Cardiac parasitism. Number of amastigote nests in (a) wild-type (129 WT mice) and (b) 5-LO−/− mice infected with 5 × 103 trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi (day 12 of postinfection). (c) Photomicrographs of cardiac sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin. AG: infected mice treated with aminoguanidine (50 mg/kg/day i.p.); LN: infected mice treated with L-NAME (20 mg/kg/day i.p.); AG+LN: infected mice treated with aminoguanidine (50 mg/kg/day i.p. plus L-NAME 20 mg/kg/day). n = 3 animals in each group and values are the mean ± SEM for three independent experiments, ∗p < 0.001. ns: not significant, p > 0.05 compared with control group (untreated and infected).
