Values are expressed as mean ± SE.
Statistically significant values (P<0.05).
Means followed by the same superscript letter (a,b,c,d or e) within the same row means non-significant variation (P>0.05) in relation to each other, but statistically significant in relation to the other groups and to the control group.
Mean followed by (ab) superscript means that this group is statistically insignificant to either groups with superscript (a) and superscript (b).
