Values are means ± SD for 8 animals/group.
WBC, white blood corpuscles; RBC, red blood corpuscles; HGB, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean cell volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; PLT, platelets; MPV, mean platelet volume.
Data for male and female rats with or without CHH exposure were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. Post hoc analysis indicated: *p < 0.05 vs. male control group; #p < 0.05 vs. female CHH group.
