^*Data represented as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range).

^*P-value obtained using ^aKruskal-Wallis Test followed by ^bMann-Whitney test with a Bonferroni Correction (p<0.016 for significance).

^*Note the amount of apoptosis was not quantified within the epithelium due to the high turnover of this layer.
