Values are expressed as the means ± SD. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni test, n = 6, p ≤ 0.05, NS = Not significant, CD: Standard—chow diet for 3 weeks; CD + A.: Standard—chow diet for 3 weeks and underwent Amoxicillin treatment in 3rd week; HSD: High-salt diet for 3 weeks; HFD + A.: High-salt diet for 3 weeks and underwent Amoxicillin treatment in 3rd week.
