The combined effect of α-TEA and DHA on survival after P. yoelii 17XL infection in mice. C57BL/6J mice infected with 4 × 104 iRBCs were administered 3 mg/head/day of α-TEA and 1 mg/kg/day DHA for 3 days from day 3 after infection. As the control, a solvent control group (0 mg α-TEA) in which the parasite and the solvent were administered and a control group in which only the parasite was administered were provided. Control and solvent vs. α-TEA + DHA; P < 0.05. Solvent vs. DHA and α-TEA; P < 0.05. α-TEA vs. α-TEA + DHA; P = 0.06
