The effect of malaria infection on UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity was investigated in rat liver microsomes using 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine and paracetamol. The Michaelis-Menten parameters, Km and Vmax were calculated and intrinsic clearance values were estimated for normal and infected livers. The results show that malaria infection alters the activity of UDPGT.

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.
