| pubmed-article:10207800 | pubmed:abstractText | The tropical parasite Schistosoma mansoni causes granulomatous inflammation following lodging of eggs in portal capillaries. In vitro studies indicated that the host reaction should involve reactive oxygen intermediates; however, it is not known what occurs in vivo at the site of the disease. Moreover, the ultimate pathophysiological effects of oxidative processes depend upon antioxidant factors, which are investigated in this study. | lld:pubmed |
