Blood samples were collected at the end of treatments and analysed using Hematology Analyzer ADVIA 2120 (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics s.r.l., Milan, Italy) to obtain hematology parameters. STD: mice fed with STD diet; CAF: mice fed with CAF diet; OLE = mice fed with CAF diet plus OLE at 0.037 mmol/kg/day; Ac-OLE: mice fed with CAF diet plus Ac-OLE at 0.025 mmol/kg/day. WBC: white blood cells; RBC: red blood cells; HGB: hemoglobin; HCT: hematocrit; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
