|---|---|---|---|---|
| At enrollment (Day 0) | 11.1 ± 4.3 | 10.9 ± 2.7 | 10.7 ± 2.0 | 0.967 |
| Day 7 of the treatment | 11.0 ± 3.9 | 6.9 ± 1.52 | 3.0 ± 0.51 | <0.0001∗ |
| Day 14 of the treatment | 11.4 ± 4.2 | 5.5 ± 0.84 | 1.65 ± 0.43 | <0.0001∗ |

COR: Cortisol. Repeated measures ANOVA was performed to analyze the difference. ∗P < 0.05 was considered significant different. 1Significantly lower versus group A (P < 0.0001) and group B (P = 0.001). 2Significantly lower versus group A (P = 0.001), 3significantly lower versus group A (P < 0.0001) and group B (P = 0.001). 4Significantly lower versus group A (P < 0.0001).
