^a–hStatistical significance between means was assessed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan's test as a post-analysis of variance test. Data are presented as mean and standard deviation (SD). The data shown with the same letters are statistically insignificant (p > 0.05), while those indicated with different letters are statistically significant (p < 0.05).
