Hepatic haemozoin levels, oxidative damage and fibrosis in liver tissue of P. berghei NK65 or P. chabaudi AS infected mice. Hz content in liver tissue (pmol Hz/mg liver tissue) of P. berghei NK65 or P. chabaudi AS infected C57Bl/6J mice at day 8 and 10 post infection (a). Hepatic mRNA expression levels of TNF-α in non-infected and infected mice at day 8 or day 10 post infection determined by quantitative RT-PCR and normalized to 18S ribosomal RNA levels (b). OH-proline content (μg/mg protein) in non-infected and infected mice at day 8 or day 10 post infection (c); MDA content (pmol/liver) in non-infected and infected mice at day 8 or day 10 post infection (d). n = 6 mice/for each time point and group. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.0001 vs Control; °°p < 0.05; °°°p < 0.01 P. berghei NK65 vs P. chabaudi AS
