RBC = red blood cells; HGB = hemoglobin; HCT = hematocrit; MCV = mean corpuscular volume; MCH = mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC = mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; PLT = platelets; WBC = white blood cells. The values were analysed with 1-ways ANOVA and expressed as the mean ± SEM, then compared to the control. n = 5.
