The data were expressed as mean ± SEM, and statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test for multiple comparisons. In the column, mean values labeled with different letters (a, b, c, d) were significantly different at a significance level of P < 0.0001
