Cleaved caspase-3 expression in Kupffer cells and lymphocytes in the portal tracts. Significant differences were observed between the severe malaria groups (with and without hyperbilirubinaemia) and the normal controls (a), and between the hyperbilirubinaemia and non-hyperbilirubinaemia groups (b) (p < 0.05), in both percentage and total scores for cleaved caspase-3 expression in Kupffer cells (A) and lymphocytes in the portal tracts (B). Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
