Parameter Prdx1+/+ Prdx1−/− Prdx1−/−/apoE−/−
Erythrocytes (×106/μL)     6±0.2       7±0.1       7±0.1
Hematocrit   48±1     48±1     48±1
Hemoglobin (g/dL)   13±1     13±1     13±1
Reticulocytes (%)     3±0.3       3±0.7       2±0.4
White blood cells (×103/μL)     7±1       6±1       6±1
Platelets (×103/μL) 956±139 1000±116 1027±81

Peripheral blood was obtained from Prdx1+/+, Prdx1−/−, and Prdx1−/−/apoE−/− mice (n=6–9), and blood parameters were measured using a Beckman Coulter counter. Peripheral blood smears stained with new methylene blue were used to quantify the amount of reticulocytes. For all parameters tested, there were no significant differences between the groups. Values represent the means±SEM (P>0.05, ANOVA).
