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

Table 1

Blood cell counts and relative organ weights in lupus, live, and gamma-irradiated malaria-infected BWF1 mice.

Experimental group	Blood cell counts		Relative organ weights (g/100 g body weight)
	RBC (10^6/mm^3)	WBC (10^3/mm^3)	Kidney	Liver
Lupus	6.83±0.33	5.91±0.21	1.89±0.03	4.44±0.16
Lupus + live malaria	4.17±0.27^∗	9.98±0.89^∗	1.70±0.03	4.95±0.08^∗
Lupus + gamma-irradiated malaria	6.75±0.32	7.10±0.34^#	1.69±0.04	4.39±0.13

Mean ± SEM, 𝑛=6. ^∗𝑃<0.05 for live malaria-infected BWF1 mice versus lupus mice; ^#𝑃<0.05 for gamma-irradiated malaria-infected BWF1 mice versus lupus mice; ⁺𝑃<0.05 for live malaria-infected BWF1 mice versus gamma-irradiated malaria-infected BWF1 mice.
