  1. (n = 10).
  2. Values are means ± standard deviations. (n = 10) Δ represents change from baseline values. Data were analyzed by MANOVA with repeated measures. Greenhouse-Geisser time and group x time (G x T) interaction p-levels are reported with univariate group p-levels. *Significantly different than Day 0.
