Effect of GIE on blood coagulation parameters in PbANKA-infected mice. Groups of ICR mice were inoculated with parasitized RBC by intraperitoneal injection. GIE (100, 250, and 500 mg/kg) was given orally by gavage for 4 consecutive days. Blood coagulation parameters, including (a) PT, (b) APTT, and (c) TT, were measured using an automated analyzer. The results were presented as . H: healthy; UN: untreated; GI100, GI250, and GI500: GIE treatment at doses of 100, 250, and 500 mg/kg; CQ: 10 mg/kg of chloroquine. compared to H. # compared to UN.
