  1. Data are presented as mean±SD
  2. P >0.05 was considered statistically non-significant between the 3 groups
  3. *P <0.05 was considered statistically significant between the 3 groups
  4. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant between group C and groups D and M
  5. Using the post hoc Tukey’s test for pairwise comparison within the ANOVA data: A1 was considered significant between group C and group D. A2 was considered significant between group C and group M. A3was considered significant between group D and group M
