| Abstract | ||
| The increase in the use of thyme in Iraq and neighboring countries, which may be result in serious side effects necessitate the demand for testing different concentrations of thyme extract (500,750,1000) mg/kg of body weight on rats to be given either by injection or feeding grinded dried thyme leaves added to pellets (50,100,150) g /kg of pellet in of different periods , (10,20,30) days for injection and feeding 2 times weekly. Thyme extracts leaves effects on RBCs, WBCs and Differential WBCs counts were measured. statistical analysis showed significance increase difference (P≤0.05) in RBCs, WBCs and Lymphocyte, Nutrophile and Monocyte counts and decrease in Eosinphil counts in rats treated with 1000 mg of thyme /kg of body weight and 150 g/kg of pellet in 10 days, in 20 days treatment group was showed highly significance increase difference (P≤0.01) compared to control group in RBCs, WBCs, Lymphocyte, Nutrophile and Monocyte counts and decrease in Eosinphil counts in rats treated with thyme extract by (750,1000) mg/kg of body weight and (100,150) g/kg of pellet and in 30 days thyme extract cause highly significance increase difference (P≤0.001) in RBCs, WBCs, Lymphocyte, Nutrophile and Monocyte counts and decrease in Eosinphil counts in rats treated with thyme by (500-750–1000) mg/kg of body weight comparing with the negative and positive controls and (50-100–150) g/kg of pellet comparing with the negative control for feeding . | ||
