Data are presented as whole numbers and percentages or mean ± SD. *Statistical significance was tested by Student t-test or One-way ANOVA. Statistical significance was set to p<0.05. The same superscript lower letter indicated a statistical difference between groups based on Tukey Test (a,b,c,d,f,g,j,k,l,o,q,r,sp≤0.001, ep=0.033, h,pp=0.045, ip=0.003, mp=0.004, np=0.002). Abbreviation: SD, standard deviation. | ||||
