title: Menhaden-fish oil in a vitamin E-deficient diet: protection against chloroquine-resistant malaria in mice.
abstract: Feeding a vitamin E-deficient diet containing 5% menhaden oil to mice affords significant protection against both a chloroquine-sensitive and a chloroquine-resistant line of the malarial parasite. Nutritional manipulation may offer a new approach to the problem of drug-resistant malaria, a rapidly emerging global threat to public health.
