Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. In the property column, a significant main One-Way ANOVA effect of treatment is indicated by ‘*’ in WT and ‘#’ in OIM+/−. A significant difference from control within each genotype is indicated by ‘*’ for p < 0.05, ‘**’ for p < 0.01, and ‘***’ for p < 0.001.
