Article Synopsis
- Nerve damage caused by leprosy may be related to the production of harmful agents like nitric oxide and peroxynitrite in skin lesions.
- Researchers studied the presence of nitrotyrosine, a byproduct of peroxynitrite, in leprosy-affected dermal nerves using specialized microscopy techniques.
- Findings indicated high levels of nitrotyrosine and inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophages in leprosy granulomas, suggesting a potential link between these substances and nerve damage in borderline leprosy cases.
