^†

Values in cells are mean (standard deviation), values after ± are SEM; E = experiment group; and C = control group.

^‡

p<0.05 indicates a significant difference of means between the groups.

"#" and "##" indicate the mean of month 4, or 6 or 12 is different from that of month 1, with p<0.05 and 0.01 respectively; and a "&" indicates the mean of month 6 or 12 is different from that of month 4, with p<0.05.
