The hematocrit and leucocrit values of the blood were determined
by calibrating the centrifuged hematocrit pipettes, and
expressed as the percentage of blood cells in the total volume of
blood [19]. The differential leukocyte count was performed according
to Schaperclaus et al. [20]. Both serum protein and serum
albumin was determined calorimetrically using Kits supplied by
(El-Nasr Pharmaceutical Chemicals. Cairo, Egypt). Globulin was
estimated by subtracting albumin values from total protein values.
Albumin-globulin ratio was calculated by dividing albumin values
by globulin values.
