EFFECT OF QUERCETIN ON HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF RABBITS: AGENDER COMPARISON
Keywords:
flavonoids, quercetin, rabbit, gender comparisonAbstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of application of quercetin in various doses on selected haematological parameters of rabbit's blood.Adult female rabbits(n = 20) and male rabbits (n = 20) were used in experiment.Animals were divided into four groups (n=5 in each group), one control group (C) and three experimental groups (E1, E2 and E3) in both sexes. Experimental groups received quercetin in injectable form (intramuscularly) at 10 µg.kg-1 in E1 group, 100 µg.kg-1 in E2 group, and 1000 µg.kg-1 in E3 group for 90 days 3 times a week. Control group received injection water.Higher values in WBC (total white blood cell count), GRA (granulocytes), RBC (red blood cells count) and HGB (haemoglobin) in experimental groups in comparison with the control group were found,however without significant differences (P>0.05).Increase in HCT in all experimental male groups in comparison with the control group without significant differences (P>0.05) was observed.Other haematological parameters were not influenced by this natural antioxidant.
