All data are presented as Mean ± SEM.
: The difference between the desired group and the stress group is significant at p<0.05 level.
: The difference between the desired group and the stress group is significant at p<0.01 level.
: The difference between the desired group and the stress group is significant at p<0.001 level. Different as judged by Tukey–Kramer post-hoc tests.
