Figure 2From: Chickens treated with a nitric oxide inhibitor became more resistant to Plasmodium gallinaceum infection due to reduced anemia, thrombocytopenia and inflammationPlasma nitric oxide levels (μM) of chickens infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum, treated (black bars) or not (gray bars), with aminoguanidine and grouped by parasitemia ranges (PR). For noninfected chickens: n = 15 for untreated and n = 13 for treated; for PR of <1: n = 6 for untreated and n = 4 for treated; for PR of 1–10: n = 6 for untreated and n = 9 for treated; for PR of 11–20: n = 4 for untreated and treated; for PR of 21–30: n = 4 for untreated and treated; for chronic chickens: n = 18 for untreated and n = 10 for treated. ## Statistically significant (p < 0.01) in relation to the noninfected value. *Statistically significant (p < 0.05) in relation to the respective treated value. Data are from one representative experiment.Back to article page
