Vitamin-C Treated Haematology Assessment of Swiss Albino Mice (Mus musculus)

Vitamin C is an essential dietary supplement that plays a vital role in battling health conditions. The antioxidant has positive effects on the functioning of the body. The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcome of varying concentrations of Vitamin C on the hematological parameters of Swiss Albino mice. Four albino mice were separated and accommodated in similar caging conditions. Three of them were orally administered with 250mg/kg, 500mg/kg, and 1000mg/kg Vitamin C powder, along with their diet. The fourth one was kept as control, in order to provide a standard value for future comparison. After 30 days of administration of the Vitamin C, the red blood cell count, the white blood cell count, the hemoglobin concentration, the platelet cell count, and the packed cell volume of the blood samples were tested.
