Glutathione and peroxide metabolism in malaria-parasitized erythrocytes

Parasitology Research
B FritschA Jung

Abstract

The glutathione metabolism of Plasmodium falciparum, P. vinckei and P. berghei has been investigated. Human erythrocytes with low glutathione reductase and synthetase activity are still capable of harbouring P. falciparum. Both enzymes have been demonstrated in Plasmodium spp. Moreover, evidence is given for a selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase in malaria parasites.
