^aReported values are means ± SD
^bIn the sumac group, participants received sumac capsules (500 mg/twice daily) for 6 weeks
^cIn the control group, participants received lactose capsules (500 mg/twice daily) for 6 weeks
^dCalculated by subsidizing baseline values from values of 6^th week
^eObtained from paired t-test for comparison of with-in group differences
^fObtained from paired t-test for comparison of between-group differences
