^a Mean length and width ± standard deviation (SD) are shown.

^b Significantly different from length or width of RU383 (p value < 0.05). p Values were determined by unpaired T test.

^c Not significantly different from length or width of RU383 (p value > 0.05). p Values were determined by unpaired T test.

^d Significantly different from length or width of RU1353 (p value < 0.05). p Values were determined by unpaired T test.

^e Not significantly different from length or width of RU1353 (p value > 0.05). p Values were determined by unpaired T test.

^f Significantly different from length or width of RU2 (p value < 0.05). p Values were determined by unpaired T test.

^g Not significantly different from length or width of RU2 (p value > 0.05). p Values were determined by unpaired T test.
