The results were expressed as the median (IqR). The significant difference was determined by non-parametric test, Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney U post-hoc test with p < 0.05 indicates statistically significant difference. a p < 0.05 versus control group (MW); b p < 0.05 versus KA group (MW); c p < 0.05 versus KA + TH group (MW)
