¹Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Means between groups C and E with significantly differ (). Means among groups C, CF25, and CF57 with different superscript letters (a, b) significantly differ (). Means among groups E, EF25, and EF57 with different superscript letters (e, f) significantly differ (). ²Details are the same as those described in the footnotes of Table 1.
