Role of Leukotrienes on Protozoan and Helminth Infections
Figure 2
Roles of LTB4 on protozoan infections. LTB4 is involved in the control of leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, and trypanosomiasis. LTB4 is also involved in the inflammation and symptoms of trichomoniasis. The overproduction of LTB4, after aspirin treatment, could be associated with the exacerbated pathogenesis of cerebral malaria.
