Selected CBC parameters in mice after 25 d of corticosterone treatment

	Dose of corticosterone (μg/mL)
	0 (n = 9)	25 (n = 9)	50 (n = 11)	100 (n = 11)
WBC (×10³/mL)	8.7^a	−5.4^a	−50.3^b	−44.9^b
RBC (×10⁶/mL)	10.2^a	8.8^b	12.8^b	9.4^b
Hemoglobin (g/dL)	14.8^a	9.1^b	13.8^b	12.2^b
Hematocrit (%)	52.1^a	8.8^b	11.3^b	13.7^b
Neutrophils (%)	24.3^a	−2.7^a	86.1^b	97.3^b
Lymphocytes (%)	69.2^a	4.5^a	−29.3^b	−34.3^b
Monocytes (U/μL)	566^a	−51.5^a,b	−63.6^b	−53.7^a,b
Platelets (×10³)	1615^a,b	−1.1^a,b	15.3^a	−8.9^b

Values for control (0 μg/mL) group expressed as mean value for each analyte; values for treated groups (25, 50, and 100 μg/mL) expressed as % difference from control. Percentage difference = (mean treated value – mean control value)/mean control value x 100%. One-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey multiple comparison tests were used to compare samples with control (0 μg/mL corticosterone, 1% ethanol) values. For each parameter, values with different superscript letters are significantly (P < 0.05) different from each other.
