§
Indicates a significant difference between week 0 and week 1 (p < 0.05);
†
indicates a significant difference between week 1 and week 3 (p < 0.05);
*
indicates a significant difference between week 3 and week 6 (p < 0.05).
x
indicates a significant difference between week 1 and week 6 (p < 0.05).
#
