Table 1 gives the participant characteristics for the EST- and EST+ group and for EST PHYSIOL and EST ORAL groups. Values are presented as Mean±SEM, if not stated otherwise. Student t test and ANOVA were used to compare the means for EST+/EST- groups and EST PHYSIOL/ESTORAL/EST- groups respectively and P values are shown.
