DOIAbstract
T. cruzi epimastigotes were grown in medium with or without 30 μM heme at 28°C for 5, 7, and 10 days and oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) of epimastigotes (5 × 107 parasites/chamber) were evaluated by high-resolution respirometry. (A) Routine OCR, (B) Crabtree effect obtained by the difference between respiration after Glc addition (20 mM) and routine OCR (ΔOCR); and (C) maximal respiration (electron transport system, ETS) stimulated by increasing concentrations of FCCP. The results show the mean ± standard error of at least four independent experiments. *p (TIF)</p
