Pr>F 4 | <.0001 | <.0001 | <.0001 |

1 Mean values (n = 45: nine fish X five fields analyzed per animal) with at least one letter in common do not differ by the T test.
2 The analysis of variance within each parameter was represented by capital letters (columns) for comparison of data from each treatment through the experimental days.
3 Immunostaining score: 0 (without immunostaining), +1 (Weak = 10 to 20% of positive cells), +2 (Moderate = 20 to 50%) and +3 (Strong = ≥50%).
4 Pr>F: Probability of significance associated to the F value/ CV: Coefficient of variation.
