Abscisic acid (ABA) supplementation decreased nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and increased peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) transcript expression in the spleen and liver of infected mice. Fold change in expression levels of NOS and PPARγ in spleens and livers of ABA-supplemented mice on day 7 post-Plasmodium yoelii infection. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction data are shown as fold change (2^ΔΔCt) in gene expression relative to control-treated infected mice. Three mice were used per group. Data were analyzed by one-sample t test. * P = 0.08, ** P ≤ 0.005.
