Data are presented as median and interquartile ranges (IQR) of n=6–7 per group. The lower and upper boundaries of the IQR represent 25th and 75th percentile values, respectively. The 0.4% and 5.2% LA groups contained six samples each and the 10.5% LA group contained seven samples. 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.
