  1. Comparison among all groups using Kruskal–Wallis test and using Mann–Whitney test to compare treated cells with controls (Non-parametric data).
  2. Comparison among all groups using One-Way ANOVA test with Multiple Comparisons (Dunnett test) to compare treated cells with glutamate-induced cells (Parametric data).
  3. $p < 0.001, value between each group and the control group.
  4. #p < 0.001 value between all groups.
