| Abstract | Hypoglycemia is recognized as a serious complication of malaria during Plasmodiuminfection in blood stage. Hence, this study was aimed to investigate the effect of green tea extract on blood glucose levels during Plasmodium bergheiinfection. Groups of na?ve ICR mice were inoculated with 1x106parasitized erythrocytes of P. bergheiANKA. Green tea extract (3,000 mg/kg) was given orally twice a day for 6 consecutive days, and blood glucose levels were subsequently measured. The results showed that levels of blood glucose were decreased significantly during malaria infection on day 6.Interestingly, blood glucose was maintained into normal levels in green tea extract treated PbANKA infected mice. It can be concluded that green tea extract was exerted glucose homeostasis during malaria infection. |
