The data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical analysis for data comparison using ANOVA was done by comparing the groups against the control (group 1). Values with the same “letter(s) superscript” are not significantly different (p > 0.05), while values with different “letter(s) superscripts” are significantly different (p < 0.05).
