Heparinized blood was obtained via cardiac puncture from sham and burn mice harvested on PBD #3, 7, 14, and 21. CBC was determined using HemaTrue hematology analyzer. Results from sham were similar at all different time points; hence, data are pooled. RBC, Hgb, and Hct values were decreased significantly from PBD #3 through PBD #21 compared with sham. Whereas monocyte counts were elevated significantly from PBD #3 through PBD #21, granulocyte counts normalized after the initial increase on PBD #3 and PBD #7 after burn. The divergent and reciprocal responses between high monocyte counts and low RBC counts persisted until PBD #21. n = 6–8 mice/group. Exp. groups, Experimental groups.
