Effects of AC from Sida cordifolia L. on hematological and serological parameters in wistar rats. TWBC (10³/μl); Lym= Total Lymphocytes. Values are mean ± S.E.M. (n=6) one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t- test: Compare all vs. control: **++ ¥¥ p<3C;0.01 compared with control groups (DMSO 10%, Cyclosporin A and Concavanalin A). Group 1: rats received 10% DMSO during 28 days. Group 2: rats received cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg bw.) from 1^st to the 7^th day and 10% DMSO from 8^th to the 28^th day. Group 3: rats received cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg bw.) from 1^st to the 7^th day and received Concavanalin A (25 mg/kg bw.) dissolved in 10% DMSO from the 8^th day to the 28^th day. Group 4: rats received cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg bw.) from 1^st to the 7^th day and received AC from Sida cordifolia (50 mg/kg bw.) dissolved in 10% DMSO from the 8^th day to the 28^th day. Group 5: rats received cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg bw.) from 1^st to the 7^th day and received AC from Sida cordifolia (100 mg/kg bw.) dissolved in 10% DMSO from the 8^th day to the 28^th day. Group 6: rats received cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg bw.) from 1^st to the 7^th day and received AC from Sida cordifolia (200 mg/kg bw.) dissolved in 10% DMSO from the 8^th day to the 28^th day.
