Data shown as the mean ± SD.

One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test was used. Within a row, different superscript letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05).

1Pearson’s correlation coefficient was obtained from simple linear regression, and asterisk indicates significant correlation (*P < 0.01, **P < 0.001).
