| Abstract | ||
| Twenty four male rabbits were used in this experiments 6 weeks of age with average of 700-750 g, divided in to four equal groups (6 rabbits each). Animals of second group was equally injected with vitamin A, animals third group injection with 700 mg/kg vitamin C, animals fourth group injection with 3000 IU vitamin A + 700 mg vitamin C and animals of first group was the control groups. Every two week were weight, noticed increased in weight but not significant in the average body weight of the rabbits that injected with vitamin A from the other groups, but when we tacked the blood plasma from the rabbits after six weeks from the beginning of the experiments noticed significant increased p<0.05 in white blood cells number (6.20±0.69), hemoglobin concentration (12.11±0.01), red blood cells (4.43±0.03), platelets (305.6±12.91). however, decrease in packed cell volume (38.51±0.28) in animals groups injected by mixed vitamin A&C. Although, noticed non-significant increased in total protein (6.29±0.13), globulin (2.66±0.26) in animals were injected with vitamin A&C increased in average albumin, and decreased in globulin in animals were injected with vitamin A, however, increase in SAST & SALT enzymes, creatinine (1.37±0.16) and urea (40.34±1.15) in animals groups injected with vitamin A, also increase non significant in cholesterol (98.43±2.82) and total lipid ( 14.96±1.82) in animals were injected with vitamin A and C. | ||
