All values are mean ± SEM; N = 6 in each group, one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test is applied for statistical analysis. values: <0.05 when day 45, day 30, and day 15 compared with day 1 in each group for all groups; <0.01 when day 45, day 30, and day 15 compared with day 1 in each group for all groups; <0.001, when day 45, day 30, and day 15 compared with day 1 in each group for all groups.
