The data were expressed as the means ± SD.

The above results were analyzed by t test, Post hoc testing of LSD and nonparametric methods. The t test results were *p = .297 (C vs. SI), #p = .041 (SI vs. SI + SB243213), ⁺ p = .028 (SI vs. SI + SB206553) at the A site, and *p = .250 (C vs. SI), ^# p = .028 (SI vs. SI + SB243213), ⁺ p = .043 (SI vs. SI + SB206553) at the B site. The hoc testing of LSD analyzed results was obtained as follows: at A site, *p = .143 (C vs. SI), ^# p = .055 (SI vs. SI + SB243213), ⁺ p = .012 (SI vs. SI + SB206553); at B site, *p = .299 (C vs. SI), ^# p = .019 (SI vs. SI + SB243213), ⁺ p = .001 (SI vs. SI + SB206553). The following nonparametric method analyzed results were obtained: at A site, *p = .221 (C vs. SI), ^# p = .086 (SI vs. SI + SB243213), ⁺ p = .027 (SI vs. SI + SB206553); at B site, *p = .327(C vs. SI), ^# p = .027 (SI vs. SI + SB243213), ⁺ p = .014 (SI vs. SI + SB206553) (n = 5/group).
