Comparison was made between vehicle control and test groups using the one-way ANOVA test followed by Dunnett's test. Values are mean ± SD for 10 rats in each group (P ≤ 0.05).
RBC: red blood corpuscles; HGB: hemoglobin; HCT: hematocrit; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; WBC: white blood cells; PLT: platelets; MPV: mean platelet volume; PCT: plateletcrit; RDW: red blood cell distribution width; PDW: platelet distribution width.
