  1. WBC white blood corpuscle, RBC red blood corpuscle, Hb hemoglobin, Ht hematocrit, PLT platelet. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The difference in the platelet numbers was assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Other differences were analyzed using an unpaired t-test. *P < 0.05 vs control
