ABSTRACT
Background:
Jorge Lobos disease, also known as lacaziosis, is a cutaneous-subcutaneous mycosis with chronic evolution. It is caused by the fungus Lacazia loboi. Herein we report a study that relates the genotoxicity caused by L. loboi in isogenic mice with nutritional status, through a normal or restricted diet.Methods:
DNA damage was assessed in the peripheral blood by the comet assay (tail intensity).Results:
The results for leukocytes showed increases in the mean tail intensity in mice under dietary restriction, in infected mice under dietary restriction and in infected mice ingesting a normal diet.Conclusion:
These results indicate that dietary restriction and L. loboi infection may increase DNA damage levels in mice, as detected by the comet assay
