Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how Trypanosoma evansi infection in rats leads to oxidative damage in red blood cells, which may contribute to anemia.
- The researchers observed that infected rats showed a significant decrease in key blood parameters like RBC count and hemoglobin, along with increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of lipid peroxidation.
- Findings suggest that oxidative stress from the infection causes damage to erythrocyte membranes, linking it to the development of anemia during the early stages of the infection.
