Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^#Significantly (p < 0.05) different from Normal Control. ^*Significantly (P < 0.05) different from Disease Control. Statistical analysis was performed by applying one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnet’s Test using Graph Pad Prism V6.0. Statistical significance was kept at P < 0.05.
