Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8). Groups are identified in the header row as follows: Control (g), DOX (f), BB (e), DEX (d), DOX + BB (c), DOX + DEX (b), and BB + DOX + DEX (a). Within each parameter row, superscript letters denote statistical significance: values sharing the same letter are not significantly different, while values with different letters differ significantly (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test). A value carrying two letters (e.g., ef) indicates no significant difference from either group e or group f.
