Abstract

We investigated the impact of short-term experimental hyperthermia on differential blood cell count in rats Rattus norvegicus (male and female Wistar strain). The blood used for the analysis was obtained by the method of direct puncture of the heart. We analyzed the forms of leukocytes (granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes). The effect of short-term hyperthermia is statistically significant increase in lymphocyte count, and decrease in monocyte count. The changes in other leukocyte count are not statistically significant.Key words: hyperthermia, differential blood cell count
