Key: Values are presented as mean ± SEM; n = 5; PCV packed cell volume, NC negative control (3 % tween 80), dH2O distilled water, CH 3 OH methanol, CHCl 3 chloroform, CQ chloroquine (positive control); a = the difference between day 0 and day 4 is not significant (P > 0.05); b = the difference between day 0 and day 4 is significant (P < 0.05)
