*Significant differences between Pre and Post values. 𝑃<.05 Wilcoxon was used as the statistical analysis.
**Significant differences between Pre and Post values. 𝑃<.01 Wilcoxon was used as the statistical analysis.
CRP: C-reactive protein, SAA: serum amyloid A, HSP: heat shock protein, IL-6: interleukin-6, TNF: tumor necrosis factor, MCP: monocyte chemotactic protein, IGF: insulin like growth factor, and VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor.
