Note: Data are showed as mean ± standard deviation (full range). Identical letters indicate no significant difference (p > 0.05); same capital letters and different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (0.01 < p < 0.05); different lowercase letters and different capital letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.01).
