Table 1. Haematological assay of rats that received lutein, exposed to cadmium, and that were exposed to cadmium and administered with lutein, compared to the control rats. RBC count, total leucocytic count, haemoglobin concentration, and packed cell volume percentage of cadmium-exposed rats were significantly lower compared to the control rats. The measured haematological indices in lutein-administered rats exhibited no significant differences compared to the control rats. In cadmium-exposed rats and those administered with lutein, the estimated haematological parameters showed significant increments compared to cadmium-exposed rats and were closer to the control levels : The Antioxidant Properties of Lutein Efficiently Mitigate the Cadmium-Induced Oxidative Stress through Restoring the Oxidant: Antioxidant Balance and Enhancing the Total Antioxidative Capacity in Wistar Rats : Science and Education Publishing
