ELISA outcomes of corticosterone, dopamine, 5-HT, and growth hormone. (a) ANOVA test for the corticosterone showed 𝑃=0.027 in CG versus ESG, 𝑃=0.491 in CG versus HG, and 𝑃=0.111 in ESG versus HG. (b) ANOVA test for the dopamine showed 𝑃=0.065 in CG versus ESG, 𝑃=0.805 in CG versus HG, and 𝑃=0.039 in ESG versus HG. (c) ANOVA test for 5-HT showed 𝑃=0.000 in CG versus ESG, 𝑃=0.004 in CG versus HG, and 𝑃=0.013 in ESG versus HG. (d) ANOVA test for the growth hormone showed 𝑃=0.135 in CG versus ESG, 𝑃=0.034 in CG versus HG, and 𝑃=0.001 in ESG versus HG.
