nitrates and Chagas Disease

nitrates has been researched along with Chagas Disease in 9 studies

Nitrates: Inorganic or organic salts and esters of nitric acid. These compounds contain the NO3- radical.

Chagas Disease: Infection with the protozoan parasite TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI, a form of TRYPANOSOMIASIS endemic in Central and South America. It is named after the Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas, who discovered the parasite. Infection by the parasite (positive serologic result only) is distinguished from the clinical manifestations that develop years later, such as destruction of PARASYMPATHETIC GANGLIA; CHAGAS CARDIOMYOPATHY; and dysfunction of the ESOPHAGUS or COLON.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the megaesophagus of Chagas' disease, chronic esophagitis is caused by stasis of swallowed food and saliva."1.34Larger amounts of nitrite and nitrate-reducing bacteria in megaesophagus of Chagas' disease than in controls. ( Cecconello, I; Dos Santos, MA; Gama-Rodrigues, JJ; Pajecki, D; Yagi, OK; Zilberstein, B, 2007)
"In vehicle-treated rats, Trypanosoma cruzi infection increased the cardiac levels of TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-10, at day 9 post inoculation, and the TNF-alpha remained elevated until day 13."1.33Blockade of endothelin ET(A)/ET(B) receptors favors a role for endothelin during acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection in rats. ( Barcellos, L; Camargos, ER; Chiari, E; Huang, H; Machado, CR; Marques, CA; Rachid, MA; Tanowitz, HB; Teixeira, MM, 2006)
