The results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Probability values of aaaa P < 0.0001, aaa P < 0.001, aa P < 0.01, and a P < 0.05 were compared with normal control. Probability values of bbbb P < 0.0001, bbb P < 0.001, bb P < 0.01, and b P < 0.05 were compared with disease control.
