RBC: red blood cell; WBC: white blood cell; Hb: hemoglobin; PCV: packed cell volume; MCV: mean cell volume; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Values are expressed as means ± SE; n = 7/group. Mean values within a row not sharing common superscript letters (a, b, c, d) were significantly different, (F = 20.66, p < 0.0001). Variations are compared as follows: NSAE, NS-Ag-NC, and TAA groups are opposed to the control group while NSAE + TAA and NS-Ag-NC + TAA groups are compared to the TAA group
