Statistic symbol: *, between P7 and P14; +, P14 and P21; ×, P21 and P36; #, P36 and P60; ^, P21 and P60.
Statistic significance: *, **, *** respectively denote “0.01 < P < 0.05”, “0.01 < P < 0.001”, “P < 0.001”; The same format denots for symbols ⩲, #, ^.
The lowest unmber of symbols were shown for multiple orders.
All symbols represent a significant increase except those specially notified.
