DA: dopamine; DOPAC: 3,4-dihydroxy phenlactic acid; 5-HT: 5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-H1AA: 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid. One way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was performed for multiple comparisons. Means in a row with different superscripts, such as a, b, c, ab, bc, is significantly different (p <= 0.05). Values are present as mean ± SEM, n = 6 in control group and n = 8 in the ogher groups
