Changes in brain neurotransmitters [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine, histamine and dopamine] were studied in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice and rats. 5-HT and norepinephrine contents of brain decreased significantly in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice and rats, but histamine and dopamine contents remained unaltered. Decreased 5-HT and norepinephrine contents of brain may play a role in cerebral vasodilatation in malaria.
在感染伯氏疟原虫的小鼠和大鼠中研究了脑神经递质[5-羟色胺（5-HT）、去甲肾上腺素、组胺和多巴胺]的变化。感染伯氏疟原虫的小鼠和大鼠脑中5-HT和去甲肾上腺素含量显著降低，但组胺和多巴胺含量未发生改变。脑中5-HT和去甲肾上腺素含量降低可能在疟疾的脑血管扩张中起作用。
