  1. Values are means ± standard deviations. 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. † represents p < 0.05 difference from baseline. * represents p < 0.05 difference from KA-L.
