L-arginine supplementation on Trypanosoma cruzi infection: effect on cerebral microcirculation and platelet activation using in vivo and in vitro models

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effects of L-arginine supplementation on cerebral microcirculation and platelet activation during Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
• Utilized both in vivo and in vitro models to assess the impact of L-arginine supplementation.
• Measured parameters related to cerebral microcirculation and platelet functionality.
• Followed standard protocols for supplementation and infection assessment.
• L-arginine supplementation improved cerebral microcirculation in infected models.
• Platelet activation was significantly reduced with L-arginine treatment, indicating a potential therapeutic role.
• No quantifiable data provided in the abstract.
