Data were analyzed according to their distribution with A. One-way ANOVA or B. Kruskal–Wallis test. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation; ** p < 0.01 vs. NW refers to post hoc analyses, performed depending on data distribution by: A. Tukey’s HSD test or B. Mann–Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction.
