|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product | D0 | D30 | D60 | D90 | D120 | D180 | |
| GC | 62.5±2.8 | 54.7±1.6a | 50.1±2.2a | 48.7±1.8a | 39.9±2.1a | 46.5±1.7a | 25.6 |

Notes: Results are expressed as the mean±SD.
a
Denotes significant difference (P<0.05) between baseline and the different time points within the same group.
b
Denotes significant difference (P<0.05) between CSE and GC for a specific time point.
