Natural Sesquiterpene Lactones Induce Oxidative Stress in Leishmania mexicana

Figure 5

Generation of ROS by the parasites after treatment with 10 μg/mL of mexicanin I (Mxc), dehydroleucodine (DhL), psilostachyin (Psi), and psilostachyin C (Psi C). Values are expressed as units of fluorescence emitted by the probe at 538 nm. Bars represent the means of fluorescence ± SD from three independent experiments. (*): significant differences with the control ( ).
