Results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean in the WKY control (n = 6), WKY olive (n = 7), SHR control (n = 7), and SHR olive (n = 8) groups. Data were analyzed by two‐way analysis of variance followed by a Fischer multiple comparison test. No differences between control and olives groups were found within each strain (P > 0.05). Means without a common letter differ (P < 0.01).
