a, b, ab upper icons: The difference between the groups (the same letter in each group shows that there is no difference between the groups). The comparisons between the groups were made by one-way analysis of variance. Tukey multiple comparison test was used to determine the different groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001.
