Confidence interval for the mean, calculated on the log-transformed data and back transformed to the original scale.

**

The p-values were calculated using 2-tailed t-tests on the log-transformed data. As a result, overlap in the 99% CIs may occur in the original scale, even though the p value is below 0.001.
