  1. Mean values and 95% confidence intervals are shown, the significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. All superscript letters highlighted by * indicate p values ≤ 0.05. Superscript letters with ** indicate p values < 0.01. The p values in the right column indicate differences between the groups overall.
