1 and 2 = two independent representative studies.

*The single asterisk indicates statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) between untreated and treated groups.

**The double asterisk indicates statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) between the animal group that received the compound alone and in combination with Bz.
