Data represent the mean values and the standard deviation.
†: only parameters with statistically significant findings are shown in table.
and ∗∗P < 0.01, statistical significances were determined with Duncan's multiple range test or with Mann–Whitney test versus control.
: minimum and maximum levels reported as the range of historical control values.
