Densitometric analysis of protein bands: a comparison between the groups at the same stage (basal or post-treatment).
| Comparisons Between Groups in Baseline Conditions (B) | Total OD Intensity (a) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| C group-B vs. CHX group-B | 6400 ± 1221 vs. 13,909 ± 3379 | p < 0.05 |
| C group-B vs. CHX+ADS group-B | 6400 ± 1221 vs. 13,704 ± 4018 | p < 0.05 |
| CHX group-B vs. CHX+ADS group-B | 13,909 ± 3379 vs. 13,704 ± 4018 | p ≥ 0.05 |
| Comparisons Between Groups After Treatment (T) | Total OD Intensity (a) | p-Value |
| C group-T vs. CHX group-T | 16,250 ± 848 vs. 25,987 ± 3233 | p < 0.05 |
| C group-T vs. CHX+ADS group-T | 16,250 ± 848 vs. 10,623 ± 3198 | p < 0.05 |
| CHX group-T vs. CHX+ADS group-T | 25,987 ± 3233 vs. 10,623 ± 3198 | p < 0.05 |
(a) Sum of the total bands of OD intensity values per lane (expressed as a mean ± SD). p-values obtained by a Student–Newman–Keuls test (SNK). p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
