The data is presented as an average value ± standard error. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Statistica 6.0 software package (StatSoft). The nonparametric Mann–Whitney test was used to verify the reliability of group differences between the experimental and control groups of rats. The p-value is given in each age group compared to the control group. The differences are statistically significant at p < 0.05.
