*Indicates p-values obtained from analysis of variance, whereas all other p-values were obtained from Kruskal-Wallis test. a,b,c indicate that medians with same indices are the same and the others are statistically different from one another. Bold values denote statistical significance at the p<0.05 level. SD: standard deviation
