Effect of BPA on the blood cell counts in rats.
| Items | Unit | Control | BPA | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White blood cell | 109/L | 10.74 ± 2.70 | 12.89 ± 3.99 | 0.406 |
| Neutrophil | 109/L | 6.22 ± 2.15 | 7.51 ± 1.16 | 0.334 |
| Lymphocyte | 109/L | 6.20 ± 1.85 | 5.32 ± 1.74 | 0.515 |
| Monocytes | 109/L | 0.47 ± 0.22 | 0.54 ± 0.47 | 0.791 |
| Eosinophil | 109/L | 0.31 ± 0.08 | 0.27 ± 0.07 | 0.528 |
| Red blood cell | 1012/L | 8.13 ± 0.52 | 7.65 ± 0.69 | 0.308 |
| Hemoglobin | g/L | 163.75 ± 7.41 | 163.00 ± 15.79 | 0.934 |
| Platelet | 109/L | 839.75 ± 243.14 | 958.75 ± 344.38 | 0.593 |
Data are expressed as the means ± SD. N = 6. The dose of BPA is 125 mg/kg body weight. The age of male rats is 8 weeks. Blood was collected 3 h after BPA injection for cell counts.
