Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase and haematological activities of artemether and lumefantrine in non-malaria infected rats

The effects of artemisinin derivatives, artemether and lumefantrine on the activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and some haematological parameters in rats (Rattus novergicus) were studied. The experimental animals were randomly distributed into four groups: those administered Tween 80 (control), those administered artemether (8 mg/kg body weight), those administered lumefantrine…
