Levels of significance as understood from within group comparison using paired t test: a p ≤ 0.05; b p ≤ 0.01; c p ≤ 0.001.

Levels of significance as understood from between group comparison using Analysis of Covariance adjusted for Gender and baseline differences: x p ≤ 0.05; y p ≤ 0.01; z p ≤ 0.001.
