Exsanguination and euthanasia were performed on all rabbits on the fifteenth day. Blood was drawn from the supraorbital vein into an EDTA-K2 blood collection tube for hematological testing. The results of the blood tests were recorded using the hematological analyzer. The blood sample was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min, and the biochemical characteristics of the serum were evaluated using a clinical chemistry analyzer. Rabbit necropsies were performed. Analytical balances were used to weigh the animal’s vital organs. Vital organs were maintained in a 10% formaldehyde solution for 72 h before histological analysis. Afterward, the tissue was cut into pieces and dehydrated using ethanol. Slides were prepared and stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E) and observed using an optical microscope.
