Values are expressed as means ± SE; n = 7/group. Mean values within a column not sharing common superscript letters (a, b, c, d, e) were significantly different, (F = 113.5; P < 0.0001). Variations are compared as follows: NSAE, NS-Ag-NC, and TAA groups are opposed to the control group while NSAE + TAA and NS-Ag-NC + TAA groups are compared to the TAA group
