Estimation of Glutathione in Three Organs of Experimentally Infected Mice by Trichomonas vaginalis Parasite
Abstract
The result of this study showed that there is decrease in the level of glutathione in the liver, kidney and heart tissues of infected mice by Trichomonas vaginalis after comparison with the control group at the at a level of (P 0.5).
This maybe gave an indicator to the oxidative harm injury or to decrease in the glutathione synthesis or building in body, which give indicator to that the infection by Trichomonas vaginalis affected negatively on the level of tissue glutathione in experimentally infected mice by this parasite.
The present study detected the level of glutathione in the tissues of infected mice by Trichomonas vaginalis to study the ability of this parasite to effect in the glutathione tissues of these mice which maybe is the one co- factor that increase the virulence of the parasite.
