Effects of ASP on hematological parameters and serum EPO levels in rats. ACD rats were treated with either water (ACD), ASP (0.5 g/kg (ASP1); 1 g/kg (ASP2)), recombinant human erythropoietin (2000 U/kg, ESA), Diclofenac sodium alone (5 mg/kg, DF), or in combination with rhEPO (DF/ESA) over 28 days. (a) RBC counts, (b) Hb concentration, and (c) WBC counts were analyzed by an automatic blood counter. (d) Serum EPO was determined by ELISA. Results are expressed as means ± SD, /group. ## versus control, , versus ACD.
