Ganoderma lucidum and Auricularia polytricha Mushrooms Protect against Carbofuran-Induced Toxicity in Rats

Figure 4

The effects of carbofuran on the thrombolytic indices and the mitigating effects of the GL and AP mushroom extracts. The data are expressed as the means ± SD of seven animals per group. Mean values with asterisks () denote level of significant differences () compared to the normal control group (one-way ANOVA/Dunnett). On the vertical axis, the units are expressed as follows: PLT (103/μL), MPV (fL), PDW (fL), PCT (%), and P_LCR (%). Platelets (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), pro-calcitonin (PCT), and platelet-larger cell ratio (P_LCR).
