Anova test was used to compare each variable between the groups and a P value is generally given in the last column. The Duncan test was used for pairwisecomparisons.
a: Indicates a significant difference between the studied groups and the control group
b: Indicates a significant difference between the studied groups and the experimental E-І group
c: Indicates a significant difference between the studied groups and the experimental E-ІV group
d: Indicates a significant difference between the studied groups and the experimental E-VП group
Data means are presented as mean±SEM
Level of P<0.05 is considered statistically significant
