Does arachidonic acid increase antifungal susceptibility of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis?
AA influences phospholipid unsaturation and ergosterol content of both yeasts C. albicans and C. dublininensis, increasing susceptibility towards the antifungals. Pretreatment of biofilms with polyunsaturated fatty acids may result in the reduction in antifungal dose needed to inhibit biofilms.
We don't observe an increase in c-TNT in the group of cocaine abusers that evidence myocardial cellular damage.
