Malarial Infection of Female BWF1 Lupus Mice Alters the Redox State in Kidney and Liver Tissues and Confers Protection against Lupus Nephritis

Figure 1

Effect of live or gamma-irradiated malarial infection on renal and hepatic NO, H2O2, MDA, and GSH levels. The levels of NO (a), H2O2 (b), MDA (c), and GSH (d) in kidney and liver tissue of BWF1 lupus mice after experimental infection with either live or gamma-irradiated malariain comparison with the lupus noninfected group. The data are the mean ± SEM for 6 mice per group for the live malaria-infected group (open white bars), gamma-irradiated malaria-infected group (hatched bars), and lupus noninfected group (closed black bars). for live malaria-infected BWF1 mice versus lupus; for gamma-irradiated malaria-infected BWF1 mice versus lupus mice; for live malaria-infected BWF1 mice versus gamma-irradiated malaria-infected BWF1 mice.
