Values represent mean ± standard deviation of 5 replicate readings

Values with the same alphabet superscript across the same row and along the same column for each parameter (mount and intromission frequencies) are not significantly different (p > 0.05)

Values with the different alphabet superscript across the same row and along the same column for each parameter (mount and intromission frequencies) are significantly different (p < 0.05)

Values with superscript * along the same column for each parameter (Mount and Intromission Frequencies) are significantly different (p < 0.05) from PD (20 mg/kg) group

Values with superscript ^# along the same column for each parameter (Mount and Intromission Frequencies) are significantly different (p < 0.05) from NC group
