Different letters indicate significant differences between the groups (). Tukey’s post hoc test following the two-way ANOVA. B0: the negative control, B1: the positive control, B2: the compound 1 given at a dose of 6 μg/kg body weight, B3: the compound 1 given at a dose of 7 μg/kg body weight, B4: the compound 1 given at a dose of 8 μg/kg body weight.
