  1. sd.: Standard deviation, N: Number of samples. The letters in superscript are grouping symbols. The presence of at least one shared grouping symbol means that a significant difference was not detected (pvalue > 0.05). Values followed by the same letter(s) in each column are not significantly different. (a = XX; b = XX; ab = XX??).
