Results revealed thar R.B.Cs. count, HB®% and PCV were decreased while W.B.Cs count were increased significantly. Differentual leucocylic count Were Significantly decrease in lymphocytes and significantly increease in neutrophils and monocytes while eosinophil was slightly increased but basophils was not affected. Levels of GOT, GPT and AP were significantly increased, while T.P., albumin and globulin were significantly decreased in serum of toxicated rats. Urea and creatinine were decreased but potassium was increased in camparison to control group. Calcium and phosphorous levels were slightly changes in serum of treated rats.
