Biochemical examination of blood and cytokine levels. Samples of blood were obtained from immunized pregnant and non-pregnant mice infected with P. berghei NK65 on day 17 post-mating. Plasma aspartic aminotransferase (AST) (A), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (B), glucose (GLU) (C), interferon (IFN)-γ (D), and interleukin (IL)-10 (E) levels are shown. Closed and opened symbols indicate wild-type (WT) and inducible nitric oxide synthase-knockout (iNOS-KO) mice, respectively. Non-pregnant indicate immunized non-pregnant WT and iNOS-KO mice infected with P. berghei NK65. Pregnant indicates immunized pregnant WT and iNOS-KO mice infected with P. berghei NK65. Asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05 compared with immunized non-pregnant WT and iNOS-KO mice infected with P. berghei NK65; Tukey–Kramer and Dunnett test). Results are shown as the means ± standard deviation of three mice. Experiments were performed in triplicate with similar results
