Data are expressed as the mean ± sd and analysed by one-way ANOVA to detect the difference between groups, followed by Fisher’s least significant difference for post hoc multiple comparisons (n = 8 per group). Means with the same letter are not significantly different from each other (P-value > 0·05).
Statistical significance was set at P-value < 0·05.
