The cross indicates a significant difference (†P<0.05 and ††P<0.01) between baseline and at each week by a repeated measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni-adjusted pairwise comparisons within groups. The asterisks indicate a significant difference (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001) of the change at each week between the two groups (control group versus YH-500 group) by t-test.
