If significant difference was found by ANOVA analysis, Student’s-Newman-Kuels (SNK) method was applied for multiple comparisons. Different letters (ie, a and b) mean there were significant difference between the two groups
Change% = (Mean₅₁-Mean₄₀)/Mean₄₀×100% or (Mean₆₁-Mean₅₁)/Mean₅₁×100% or (Mean₇₁-Mean₆₁)/Mean₆₁×100%
