The values represent the mean and S.D., respectively ( indicates the number of samples per treatment). Sedentary saline group (SG) and sedentary groups supplemented with S. platensis at 50 mg/kg (SG50), 150 mg/kg (SG150), and 500 mg/kg (SG500). Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s posttest, (SG vs. groups), ^# (SG50 vs. SG150 and SG500), ^† (SG150 vs. SG500).
