Table 9 Effect of Oxaliplatin, free CDA and CDA-Dextran conjugates on hematological parameters (Hemoglobin level, RBC, WBC cells count) All values are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA (F-test). Statistical significance was defined as a p-value ≤0.05 indicating significant difference. a EAC control group versus negative control group. b Treated groups versus EAC positive control group
