Data represent mean ± SEM. Data were subjected to repeated-measures one-factor (Group) mixed-model ANOVA. If a significant main effect was observed, the analysis was followed by Dunnett’s multiple-comparison tests to assess differences between intervention and baseline groups relative to the comparator group.
