* Means within the same column followed by the same letter are not significantly different p < 0.05 (Unequal N HSD). n = Number of pairs. BM = Males treated with BB-ES formulation, BF = Females treated with BB-ES formulation, MM = Males treated with MET-ES formulation, MF = Females treated with MET-ES formulation, CM = Untreated male, CF = Untreated female.
