  1. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n=10), BE=Between Errors, 95 % CI-D=95 % Confidence Interval of the Difference (lower, upper), p1= p value found after Paired-Samples t-test within volunteers (five test groups) before and after consuming drugs and placebo (one control group) respectively with degree of freedom (df)=9; p2= p value found after Independent-Samples t-test between each five test groups with control group having degree of freedom (df)=18. *, ** and *** indicate statistically significant at alpha (<0.05), (<0.01) & (<0.001) respectively. ǂ indicates large effect size in Cohen’s d value
