Interferon-γ induced nitric oxide mediates in vitro neuronal damage by Trypanosoma cruzi-infected macrophages

Neuronal lesions and peripheral denervation in Chagas' disease are related to local inflammation; however, the pathogenic mechanisms of neuronal lesions in the heart and megavisceras are still unclear. We investigated the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) on neuronal lesion in co-cultures of neu...
