Forty-eight hours after the irradiation, all the animals were euthanised by cervical dislocation, and blood samples were collected from them. The blood collection was done from the posterior vena cava of the heart using a 23-gauge needle and a 1-mL syringe into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) bottles with anticoagulant for hematological analysis. The packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), total white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, platelet count values were determined using the Sysmex XE-2100 Haematology Automated Analyser machine.
