Parameters are presented as mean ± SEM and number (%). One-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey tests was used to analyze quantitative data, and Fisher's exact/chi-square test was used to analyze qualitative data. a: Comparison of the control and CAB<%50 groups; b: Comparison of the control and CAB>%50 groups; and C: Comparison of the CAB<%50 and CAB>%50 groups. The significance level is P < 0.05.
