Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1995 Nov; 33(11): 897-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/62311Heme and heme degrading enzymes namely heme-oxygenase (HO) and biliverdin reductase (BR) were monitored in liver and spleen during Plasmodium berghei infection in golden hamsters. There was a sequential rise in the levels of heme and HO with the rise in parasitaemia. BR was also significantly increased in these organs following infection.engAnimalsCricetinaeHeme --metabolismHeme Oxygenase (Decyclizing) --metabolismLiver --metabolismMalaria --metabolismMesocricetusParasitemia --metabolismPlasmodium bergheiSpleen --metabolismJournal Article
