Data are presented as median and interquartile ranges (IQR) of n=8 per group. The lower and upper boundaries of the IQR represent 25th and 75th percentile values, respectively. Data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test. Different alphabetical superscripts mean that the groups differed significantly (P<0.05) from each other.
