Blood hemoglobin and red blood cell levels in aspirin + Li-treated rats. Rats were fed regular food (control) or lithium-containing food [LLD-Li or STD-Li] for 42 days. Low-dose ASA (1 mg/kg, ip) was administered alone or together with Li. On the indicated days, blood was collected, and hemoglobin levels and red blood cell count were measured as described in Materials and Methods. Results are the means ± SEM of a single representative experiment out of two demonstrating a similar pattern with 6–8 rats per group in the depicted experiment. (a) Hemoglobin—One-way ANOVA: Day 0—p = 0.547; day 21—p = 0.07; day 42—p = 0.29. (b) RBC—One-way ANOVA: Day 0—p = 0.547; day 21—p = 0.07; day 42—p = 0.294. Abbreviations: ASA—acetylsalicylic acid, LLD—low-low dose, Li—lithium, STD—standard dose.
