(a) and (b) showed changes of cell count in the blood 24 h after i.p. administration of E. coli. (a) The count of total leukocytes and lymphocytes in the blood of the PM decreased significantly (*P < 0.05) compared with the control. (b) The neutrophil increased markedly in the blood (*P < 0.05) of PM compared with that of the control. (c) and (d) showed changes of cell count in blood and ascites 24 h after i.p. administration of E. coli. (c) The count of total leukocyte and neutrophils in the ascites was significantly higher than that in the blood (**P < 0.01). (d) The percentage neutrophil increased significantly in the blood than that in the ascites (**P < 0.01).
