The Involvement of Glutamate Metabolism in the Resistance to Thermal, Nutritional, and Oxidative Stress in Trypanosoma cruzi
Figure 3
Dose-response curves of epimastigotes cultured at different temperatures and concentrations of MS (a), MSE (b), and MSO (c) treatment. The parasite growth inhibition was measured on the fifth day of growth, submitted to thermal stress (● 33°C, and ▲ 37°C) or not (■ 28°C) and drug treatments. The curves correspond to the adjusting to sigmoidal dose-response equation at 28°C (—), 33°C (- - -), and 37°C (⋯). Insets: the maximum cell growth obtained in the control (no drug treatment) for each temperature is shown.
