Abstract: The aim of the research was to evaluate vitamin E influence on ochratoxin A (OTA) toxicity based on analysis of selected parameters of white and red cell system in rats. The animals were divided into groups: I--control, II--treated with OTA, III--treated with OTA and vitamin E. In group II a significant decrease in the values of hematocrit, hemoglobin level, red and white cell counts was observed. In group III an average hematocrit, hemoglobin level were significantly lower than in control group, nevertheless they were higher than in group II.
