Values are presented as average ± standard deviation. For all groups, n = 3. Nd, not detected. Different lowercase letters within a column correspond to statistical differences (p < 0.05) between different species and same extract type (ethanolic or aqueous, respectively). Different uppercase letters within a row correspond to statistical differences (p < 0.05) between aqueous and ethanolic extracts from the same species.
