Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni-corrected post hoc test. The listed p values (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) correspond to comparisons CON L5/6 versus GE L5/6 and CON L2/3 versus GE L2/3, whereas p values (^##p < 0.01) correspond to comparisons CON L5/6 versus CON L2/3, GE L5/6 versus GE L2/3.
