Data are described as: mean ± SD (minimum-maximum). Abbreviations: BC: baseline control group, C: control group at t = 5 days, BH: baseline HBOT group, H: HBOT group at t = 5 days (n = 20–24 per group). P values for each analyte are listed and derive from paired t tests (H vs BH: #; C vs BC: ##). Significant differences are highlighted. Rest of comparisons are ns (# and ##).
