Data expressed as mean average ± standard deviation. Control: rats treated with water T1: dose of 1000 mg/kg, T2: dose of 2500 mg/kg, and T3: dose of 5000 mg/kg of the sap of the Hymenaea stigonocarpa (Hs-1). MCV: mean corpuscular volume, MCH: mean corpuscular haemoglobin, MCHC: mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, ALT: alanine aminotransferase, and AST: aspartate aminotransferase. (compared with the control group).
