Inducible nitric oxide synthase expression is increased in the brain in fatal cerebral malaria

Aims : Nitric oxide (NO) has been hypothesized to play a major role in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria caused by P. falciparum infection. NO may act as a local neuroactive mediator contributing to the coma of cerebral malaria (CM). We hypothesized that increased expression of inducible nitric o...
