  1. Six mice were used for each group.
  2. Results are expressed as mean ± SD.
  3. Results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s test to test the similarity between the control and three treated groups.
  4. According to Duncan's test means with different letters indicates statistical significant difference between the compared groups in the same column at a significant level of p < 0.001.
