Abstract
Hypothyroidism, characterized by inadequate production of thyroid hormones, and malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, are significant health concerns worldwide. Understanding the interplay between these two conditions could offer insights into their complex relationship and potential therapeutic strategies. To induce hypothyroidism, pharmacological inhibition of thyroid hormone synthesis was employed. Subsequently, mice were infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA to simulate cerebral malaria infection. It needs to monitor the progression of the disease in male mice before it can identify infiltrating immune system populations of interest in the brain by multiparametric techniques such as flow cytometry.
期刊介绍：
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
