SD, standard deviation

F, F for one-way ANOVA test, pairwise comparison bet. each 2 groups was done using post hoc test (Tukey)

p, p value for comparing between the three studied groups

p1, p value for comparing between control and each other groups

p2, p value for comparing between cisplatin treated and PRP treated

*Statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05
