Within a column, means (±SD) followed by same capital letter are not significantly different at P < .05 according to Duncan multiple range test following analysis of covariance (ANOVA). Within a line, means (±SD) followed by same small letter are not significantly different at P < .05 according to Duncan multiple range test following ANOVA.
