Blood cytological changes in mice (n = 6 mice per group). (a) White blood cell (WBC) count changes in mice. Results are presented as mean ± SD. ****P < 0.0001; one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett’s test for group comparisons. (b) Lymphocyte count changes in mice. Results are presented as mean ± SD. **P < 0.01; one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett’s test for group comparisons. Statistical note: the lymphocyte counts for the six mice in group 1 showed a large inter-individual variation: 4.6 × 109/l, 10.1 × 109/l, 2.9 × 109/l, 3.8 × 109/l, 0.7 × 109/l and 2.1 × 109/l. A normal-mode analysis of the data was undertaken and demonstrated normality. The dispersion was likely to have been influenced by the small sample size.
