  1. Control: control group; CsA: Cyclosporin A treated group; Ht: Heteropterys tomentosa infusion treated group; and CsA + Ht: group with simultaneously treatment with CsA and H. tomentosa.
  2. The values are mean Ā± SD. In each row, values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05). The parameters preceded by # did not show normal distribution, therefore were compared using a nonparametric test. The others were compared with ANOVA post hoc with Duncanā€™s test.
