Data are represented as mean ± SE. t-test values: ∗∗∗: significant at P < 0.001. ANOVA analysis: within each row, means with different superscript (a, b, c, or d) are significantly different at P < 0.05, whereas means with the same superscript letters mean that there is no significant difference at P < 0.05. LSD: least significant difference; NS: nonsignificant.
