The recruitment information on participants has been provided in Table 1. Statistics: values are expressed as median (range) (values have been shown as mean ± SEM in Table 1). Statistical significance of the difference between two respective groups was tested using the Wilcoxon two independent sample test (Mann–Whitney U test). p < 0.05 is considered significant. ∗p < 0.05. ∗∗p < 0.01. ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
