3.3.3. Effect of PPE on Altered Hematological Values. After
feeding PPE at 11 and 110 mg/kg/day for 6 months to both
male and female rats, no significant alterations in any of
the hematological values were observed (Tables 4 and 5). At
the high doses of 550 and 1,100mg/kg/day, male rats had
significantly higher platelet numbers but a lower percentage
of eosinophils compared to both controls. The hematocrit,
RBC, and hemoglobin valueswere significantly higher only in
