The effect of arsenite, CoQ10, and DMSA on various red blood cell indices. Male Swiss mice were treated with 15 mg/kg arsenite daily for 45 days. Two groups of mice were receiving 50 mg/kg DMSA or 200 mg/kg CoQ10 alone while another group of mice were treated using combination of the two. After the 45 days post treatment, blood was obtained by cardiac puncture and RBC indices determined include MCV (a), MCH (b), MCHC (c), RDW-SD (d), and RDW-CV (e) using blood cell auto-analyzer. One-way ANOVA was used for analysis and Tukey test followed for multiple comparisons. Bars represent ± SEM Significance difference *p < 0.05**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 n = 10
