Values are expressed as . Differences among the groups were evaluated by a nonparametric analysis (Kruskal-Wallis). , , and indicate significant differences of SAMR1 versus the age-matched SAMP8. #, ##, and ### indicate significant differences between SAMR1 6 m and SAMR1 8 m or between SAMP8 6 m and SAMP8 8 m.
