^†D’Agostino-Pearson and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests were applied.

^£Statistical tests were performed using GraphPad Prism version 6.0e for Mac.

^§T value and degrees of freedom (DF) calculated for t-test

^¶Mann-Whitney U value calculated for Mann-Whitney rank test. The smallest possible value of U is zero. N/A: not applicable

^*Results: P value ≤ 0.03; ns: non-significant
