  • Each value represents the mean ± S.E.M.

  • 2-a Significantly different, P < .05 (two-tailed), from base line within the same row (within groups).

  • 2-b Significantly different from the respective saline value within the same column (between groups) (n = 4–6 animals/experimental group).

  • One saline control was run with each group for a total of 11 controls.
