Gonadal Steroids Negatively Modulate Oxidative Stress in CBA/Ca Female Mice Infected with P. berghei ANKA
Figure 4
Effect of gonadectomy on nitric oxide and MDA in P. berghei ANKA-infected mice. Gonadectomised, sham-operated, and intact female and male mice were infected with P. berghei ANKA, and on day 9 after infection, mice were sacrificed, and blood (a) and spleen samples (b and c) were used to quantify the levels of NO and spleen was used to measure the concentration of MDA. Data represent the average (means ± SD). (), indicates significant differences (). indicates significant differences between female and male mice.
