Values are mean ± standard deviation, = 5, different alphabetic superscripts (a, b, and c) indicate significant differences at level, RBC = red blood cell, WBC = white blood cell, Hb = hemoglobin, PCV = packed cell volume, MCV = mean corpuscular volume, MCH = mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and MCHC = mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
