Two-way ANOVA of results shown in Figure 2. The effects of ‘stress', ‘treatment', and the ‘treatment × stress' interaction for each test (F and p values) are reported, for simplicity, only when a statistical significance or a tendency to significance was found. Results were further analyzed by Bonferroni's post-hoc test to identify differences between group means. Statistical results from post-hoc analysis are shown as asterisks in Figure 2.
