  • Title: Status of oxidative stress and antioxidant defences during Plasmodium knowlesi infection and chloroquine treatment in Macaca mulatta.
    Author: Srivastava P, Puri SK, Dutta GP, Pandey VC.
    Journal: Int J Parasitol; 1992 Apr; 22(2):243-5. PubMed ID: 1316884.
    Abstract:
    Plasmodium knowlesi (a simian malarial parasite) infection resulted in elevation of hepatic oxidative stress in monkeys. Further, the antioxidant defence system of the host was also noticeably affected. The infected monkeys showed a marked increase in the levels of superoxide (O2-), lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH) and xanthine oxidase (XO), and decreased levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. Oral administration of chloroquine (20 mg kg body wt-1 for 3 days) to infected monkeys caused recovery trends in oxidative stress and antioxidant defences to almost normal a week after cessation of drug treatment.
