  1. a, b, c These lower case letters a, b and c are different levels of significance at p < 0.05. a is significantly different from b and c, and vice versa. b is also significantly different from c and vice versa. The use of such alphabets is to show the homogenous sets which would bear same alphabet so that the different sets can easily be identified
  2. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 3. Values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05) from each other
