Changes of oxidative processes induced in mouse erythrocytes by Plasmodium berghei were studied in the presence of methylene blue, neutral red or of both cationic redox dyes. The results are discussed in terms of redox and metachromatic modifications of the dyes which are produced by malarial and normal erythrocyte lysates.

The present study was aimed at revealing the metabolic changes that occurred in the cellular lipid pattern of acute and chronic myeloid leukaemia cells following treatment with cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is a non-psychoactive compound present in Cannabis sativa L., which has shown an antiproliferative action in these type of cancer cells.

Placental malaria is characterized by the massive accumulation and sequestration of infected erythrocytes in the placental intervillous blood spaces, causing severe birth outcomes. The variant surface antigen VAR2CSA is associated with Plasmodium falciparum sequestration in the placenta via its capacity to adhere to chondroitin sulfate A. We have previously shown that the extracellular region of VAR2CSA is phosphorylated on several residues and that the phosphorylation enhances the adhesive properties of CSA-binding infected erythrocytes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of ACE inhibitors and diuretics on heart damage from ischemia-reperfusion in hypertensive rats, showing significant blood pressure reduction and improved heart function.
- After four weeks of treatment, a combination of drugs decreased left ventricular hypertrophy and increased ejection fraction, but also indicated potential pro-oxidative effects.
- Pathological analysis revealed no significant changes in heart and kidney tissues, and further research is necessary to explore the long-term effects of these medications.
