Significance between groups

p1 = 0.012*, p2 = 0.8430, p3 = .023*.

  1. Significance between groups was done using Post Hoc Test (LSD)
  2. p1: p value for comparing between Control and TBT treated groups
  3. p2: p value for comparing between Control and TBT + GTE groups
  4. p3: p value for comparing between TBT treated and TBT + GTE groups
  5. *: Statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05
