Abstract

Chloroquine, due to its basic properties, has been shown to
prevent the release of iron from holotransferrin, thereby
interfering with normal iron metabolism in a variety of cell
types. We have studied the effects of chloroquine on the
evolution of experimental paracoccidioidomycosis by evaluating
the viable fungal recovery from lung, liver and spleen from
infected mice and H2O2, NO production, tumor necrosis
factor-alpha (TNF-=CE=B1), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 levels
and transferrin receptor (TfR) expression from uninfected and
infected peritoneal macrophages. Chloroquine caused a
significant decrease in the viable fungal recovery from all
organs tested, during all periods of evaluation. Peritoneal
macrophages from chloroquine-treated infected mice showed
higher H2O2 production and TfR expression, and decreased
levels of NO, endogenous and stimulated-TNF-=CE=B1, IL-6 and
IL-10 during the three evaluated periods. However, despite its
suppressor effects on the macrophage function, the chloroquine
therapeutic effect upon murine paracoccidioidomycosis was
probably due to its effect on iron metabolism, blocking iron
uptake by cells, and consequently restricting iron to fungus
growth and survival.

"Chloroquine, due to its basic properties, has been shown

May one suggest then that avoiding it would be the best
course.

How does this relate to the eating meat and iron from it is
the cause of all disease notion?

You don't .. know .. ?

You can't figure it out .. ?

It is very simple ..

If you cannot figure that out .. how do you figure you are
going to be of any .. **use** .. anywhere .. in .. science ..

Work on it ..

Like I said .. "it is very simple" ..

I'll even give you a .. tip ..

"Don't give me no .. lip" ..
