Figure 1From: Anti-malarial effect of gum arabicEffects of butyrate during in vitro infection of human erythrocytes with P. falciparum. A. In vitro parasitaemia with P. falciparum in human erythrocytes as a function of the butyrate concentration (arithmetic means ± SEM, n = 3 cultures studied in quadruplets). B. Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 3 cultures studied in quadruplets) of intraerythrocytic DNA amplification as a function of the butyrate concentration C. Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 3 cultures studied in quadruplets) of the percentage of annexin V-binding infected (open bars) and non-infected (closed bars) erythrocytes following infection of human erythrocytes with P. falciparum in the presence of the indicated concentration of butyrate. *** (p < 0.001) indicate significant difference from absence of butyrate.Back to article page
