Abstract:We investigate the effects of green tea extract (GTE) on the attenuation of nicotine hematotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation and spleen and bone marrow structural lesions.

Haematological profiles, inflammation markers, neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV/Plat) ratios-and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were evaluated.… Show more
