Photomicrographs of erythrocytes of control and experimental group of rats, wherein blood smear from control group of rats (5a) showed normal erythrocytes (NE) with the normal biconcave, discoid shape and smooth surface morphology. While smear sample from ethanol-treated rat (5b) showed very few numbers of normal erythrocytes (NE) and a large number of deformed erythrocytes (DE) with a maximum number of them getting transformed into echinocytes (EC), spherocytes (SP) and stomatocytes (ST), the smear sample from alcoholic rats treated with AETA (5c) showed normal morphological features with reduces the number of EC and increased number of NE. Erythrocytes of rats treated with AETA alone (5d) showed normal erythrocyte morphological features like that of control group.
