  1. EG = Exposed group. The values represented as mean ± standard error. *Ascribes the significant difference between exposed group and control group (t-test, p ≤ 0.05). Different letters a, b, c between the columns are significantly different (Tukey’s test, p ≤ 0.05) and signify the effect of duration.
