Pulmonary nitrites and nitrates (NN) of Plasmodium berghei-infected mice in groups supplemented with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or Agaricus sylvaticus and control groups. PC = animals infected with P. berghei, but not supplemented; NC = animals not infected and not supplemented. Group size: NC (1 day N = 9¶/10; 3 days N = 8¶/10; 5 days N = 9¶/10; 7 days N = 8¶/10; 10 days N = 9¶/10); PC (1 day N = 9¶/10; 3 days N = 10/10; 5 days N = 9†/10; 7 days N = 7†/10; 10 days N = 6†/10); NAC (1 day N = 10/10; 3 days N = 8¶/10; 5 days N = 9¶/10; 7 days N = 6†¶/10; 10 days N = 6†/10); AS (1 day N = 10/10; 3 days N = 10/10; 5 days N = 9¶/10; 7 days N = 8†/10; 10 days N = 5†/10). Discrepancies in group size were due to dead animals (†) or outliers (¶). * p < 0.01 versus Agaricus sylvaticus (AS) or NC, τ p < 0.01 versus PC, # p < 0.05 versus NC or AS
