From: 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 has no effect on survival during experimental malaria but affects parasitemia in a parasite strain-specific manner

Figure 6

Reticulocyte presence is not affected by 11β-HSD1. Hsd11b1 Del/Del and WT mice were infected with PbNK65 1556Cl1. The percentage of reticulocytes amongst the RBCs was analysed by microscopical examination of blood smears at 17 days post-infection. Each dot represents the result from an individual mouse. Horizontal lines in between data points represent group medians and analysis was by Mann-Whitney U-test. Data from 2 separate experiments. n = 16 (7 F and 9 M) for WT and n = 18 (9 F and 9 M) for Hsd11b1 Del/Del. HP, hyperparasitemic; non-HP, non-hyperparasitemic; ns, not significant.
