Fig. 2From: Plasmodium falciparum uses vitamin E to avoid oxidative stressLevels of ROS in erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum. Cytometry analysis of infected erythrocytes challenged or not (basal) with the pro-oxidant H2O2. The levels of oxidative stress were evaluated in different treatments: H2O2, hydrogen peroxide; UAT, usnic acid plus 75 μM α-tocopherol; UA, usnic acid and T, 75 μM α-tocopherol. Abbreviations: AUF: arbitrary unit of fluorescence; N.S.: not significant (ANOVA: F (6,77) = 30.6, P < 0.0001)Back to article page
