Effect of gonadectomy on body weight and anaemia in CBA/Ca mice infected with P. berghei ANKA. (a) Groups of gonadectomised, sham-operated, and intact female and male mice were infected with P. berghei ANKA; the weight on the day of infection (day 0) was considered to be 100%. Data represent the averages (means ± SD). indicates significant differences (). (b) Haemoglobin levels were measured by the Drabkin method in the same groups of mice. Values are presented as the means ± SD (); indicates significant differences (). Data are representative of two independent experiments.
