Values are expressed as means ± SEMs (number of animals, n = 6); and were significantly different at *P < 0.05, †P < 0.01, and ‡P < 0.001, when compared with the control group. SEMs, standard errors of the mean; WBC, white blood cell; RBC, red blood cell, HB, haemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular haemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; PLT, platelets; LYMP, lymphocyte.
