Analysis of hematological indices in D-gal-induced aging rats.
| Indices | CY | D-Gal | D-gal + WK | D-gal + WSE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WBC (×103 mm−3) | 7.1 ± 0.2 | 3.8 ± 0.4 ## | 7.0 ± 0.6 ** | 6.8 ± 0.5 * |
| LY (%) | 67.5 ± 2.5 | 55.5 ± 8.2 ## | 64.3 ± 6.1 | 72.0 ± 3.6 ** |
| RBC (×106 mm−3) | 8.1 ± 0.5 | 6.4 ± 1.1 | 7.7 ± 0.5 | 8.1 ± 0.2 |
| HGB (g/dL) | 14.8 ± 0.8 | 12.3 ± 1.8 # | 15.0 ± 0.8 ** | 15.1 ± 0.5 ** |
| HCT (%) | 39.4 ± 2.8 | 32.3 ± 5.1 | 39.0 ± 2.78 | 40.0 ± 1.6 |
| PLT (×103 mm−3) | 590.8 ± 71.5 | 732.8 ± 64.1 # | 582.4 ± 37.1 * | 624.6 ± 84.1 |
Values expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8);# p < 0.05 and ## p < 0.01 compared to CY; * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 compared to D-gal group (CY—control young; D-gal—D-galactose; WK—walnut kernel; WSE—walnut septum extract; WBC—white blood cells, LY—lymphocytes, RBC—red blood cells, HGB—hemoglobin, HCT—hematocrit, PLT—platelets).
