Note: n is the number of samples tested in each group. Almost all values at doses 2.3–1000 MTD (bold font) are above the corresponding control samples (0 MTD); (*)—values for FF2 suspension are higher or lower than corresponding value for FF1 suspension without chitosan; p < 0.05 according to the Mann-Whitney test.
