Values are expressed as . females, males. In each sex, the haematological parameters of the treated groups are compared to the control (ANOVA followed by multiple comparison test of Dunnett). The values sharing any one common superscript in the same row do not differ (). WBC: White Blood Cell Count, RBC: Red blood cell count.
