Values are presented in mean ± SEM (n = 5). * P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant when compared against control. Overall time effect is considered extremely significant with F (4, 80) = 5.910 and P < 0.05. Repeated measure ANOVA with Dunnet's multiple comparison was performed to analyze this data set.
