Model diagram of the cellular biological mechanism of the amoebicidal effect of Torreya nucifera.
, 2023 When A. lugdunensis were treated with T. nucifera, the morphological change of encystation was confirmed. The decrease in mitochondrial ATP level and collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential is the likely amoebicidal mechanism of T. nucifera.
