Means values (±) in the same column sharing the same subscript are not significantly different, absence of letters indicates no significant difference (ANOVA, one-way, p ≥ 0.05). RBC= Red blood cell (×106 µl-1), WBC= White blood cell (×106 µl-1), Hct= Hematocrit (%), HGB= Hemoglobin (mmol L-1), CHOL= Cholesterol (mmol L-1), Glo = Globulin (g L-1), TP= Total Protein (g L-1), Alb= Albumin (g L-1), ALP= Alkaline phosphatase (U/l), AST= Aspartate aminotransferase (U/l), ALT= Alanine aminotransferase (U/l).
