Total leukocyte count and granulocytes values increased (p < 0.05) in 0.02 and 0.03 g/L propolis groups. There was a decrease in agranulocytes (p < 0.05) erythrocytes, hemoglobin and hematocrit values for fish exposed to 0.02 and 0.03 g/L propolis. MCV and MCH values (p < 0.05) were significantly increased; 0.02 and 0.03 g/L propolis caused an increase (p < 0.05) in the levels of glucose, blood urea nitrogen, triglyceride, total cholesterol, lactate dehydrogenase, amylase and gamma glutamyltransferase. There was a decrease in the levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase. Hematological and biochemical protective effects of 0.01 g/L propolis were investigated. Dose-dependent effects of propolis on blood of fish can be favorable, opening new perspectives of investigation on their biological properties and utilization. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
