NADH-oxidase, NADPH-oxidase and myeloperoxidase activity of visceral leishmaniasis patients Free

Abstract

It is believed that the enhanced capability of activated macrophages to resist infection is related to the remarkable increase in the production of oxygen metabolites in response to phagocytosis. Both the production of HO and the oxidation of NAD(P)H are directly dependent upon NAD(P)H-oxidase. It has been established that the respiratory burst is due to activation of NAD(P)H-oxidase localised in the plasmalemma. Myeloperoxidase is believed to be involved in augmenting the cytotoxic activity of HO. Low NADH-oxidase, NADPH-oxidase and myeloperoxidase activity were observed in monocytes of patients with active visceral leishmaniasis as compared with healthy controls. These results suggest that low NADH-oxidase, NADPH-oxidase and myeloperoxidase activities may account for persistence of parasites in visceral leishmaniasis.
