**Superscript differs significantly (P < 0.01) compared with group I, *superscript differs notably (P < 0.05) compared with group I. △△Superscript differs significantly (P < 0.01) compared with group V, △superscript differs notably (P < 0.05) compared with group V. CY stands for Cyclophosphamide. RBC stands for red blood cell.
