Effect of Ethkher extract 0 on differential counts of peripheral blood leucocytes in Cd intoxicated mice. Value are mean ± S.E. N = 6 animals per group. Statistical significances: (aP < 0.01, compared with normal control group; bP < 0.05, compared with Ethkher extract group and cP < 0.05, compared with Cd group, where P < 0.001 in all compared groups).
