## Abstract In order to contribute to the search for new therapeutic agents for leishmaniasis, we report the effect of several essential oils on the growth of __Leishmania infantum__ promastigotes. Eight of the tested essential oils revealed activity below 150 µg/ml, the most active being __Cymbopo
The events occurring during emergence of cells from quiescence ("Go") are not necessarily identical to those in the G, phase of continuously dividing cells. Cellular levels of t h e mRNAs coding for ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase (SDC), key enzymes in polyamine
The protozoan parasite Leishmania fails to activate naive macrophages for proinflammatory cytokines production, and selectively impairs signal transduction pathways in infected macrophages. Because mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)-and NF-‹ B-dependent signaling pathways regulate proinflammat
## Abstract The levels of tumour‐specific antigen, antibody and specific immune complexes in the sera of rats bearing lung nodules of a chemically induced rat hepatoma, produced by intravenous inoculation of viable tumour cells, have been examined and compared with the levels of serum factors in an
