RBC, red blood cells; WBC, White blood cells; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; AST, Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, Alanine aminotransferase. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. * Indicates differences between groups compared to control. Different letter indicates differences between treatments; P ≤ 0.05, ANOVA test, followed by aTukey’s post hoc test.
