Toxicological evaluation of CQE in rats
| Parameters | Control | CQE (1.5 g/kg body weight) | CQE (3.0 g/kg body weight) | CQE (5.0 g/kg body weight) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WBC (×103/µl) | 7.42 ± 0.65 | 7.39 ± 0.35 | 7.32 ± 0.41 | 7.25 ± 0.39 |
| RBC (×106/µl) | 8.39 ± 0.32 | 8.54 ± 0.41 | 8.79 ± 0.49 | 8.91 ± 0.61 |
| Hb % (g/dl) | 12.38 ± 0.08 | 12.46 ± 0.09 | 12.53 ± 0.11 | 12.81 ± 0.11 |
| MCV (fl) | 43.51 ± 1.8 | 43.75 ± 2.3 | 43.98 ± 2.7 | 44.06 ± 3.2 |
| HCT (%) | 36.22 ± 1.9 | 36.39 ± 2.1 | 36.51 ± 2.6 | 36.84 ± 2.9 |
| Sugar (mg/dl) | 117.15 ± 3.7 | 117.40 ± 5.1 | 117.7 ± 5.9 | 118.61 ± 6.0 |
| Urea (mg/dl) | 16.73 ± 1.9 | 16.71 ± 1.4 | 16.23 ± 1.2 | 16.02 ± 1.5 |
The values are the means ± SD, n = 6; CQE treated groups showed nonsignificant changes when compared with control rats
