“…Hematological parameters including hemoglobin (Hb), red blood corpuscles (RBC), erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR), packed cell volume (PCV), total white blood cells (WBC) and platelets were determined according to methods of Docie (1958). Biochemical parameters including serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) (Reitman and Frankel, 1957), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (Kind and King, 1954), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) (Szasz, 1969), total bilirubin (BRN) (Malloy and Evelyn, 1937), total protein (TP) (Lowry et al, 1951), total cholesterol (Varley et al, 1980), glucose (Folin and Wu, 1920), urea, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (Weichselbaum et al, 1969) and creatinine (Henry, 1974) were analyzed following the standard methods and the electrolytes Na + , K + and Cl − in serum were estimated using flame photometer.…”
