  1. Body temperature values were measured in °C (degrees Celsius). Data are means (standard deviation)
  2. Italic values indicate significance of p value (p < 0.05)
  3. †P values were compared using the independent t-test for difference in the mean change in body temperature and mean body temperature between the treatment arms in respective time-points
  4. ¥P values were compared using paired t-test for difference in mean body temperature within the treatment arms between day 0 and 5
