  1. a–g The statistical significance between means was assessed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s test as a post-analysis of variance test. The data are presented as the mean and standard deviation (SD). The data indicated by the same letters are deemed to be statistically insignificant (p>0.05), whereas those indicated by different letters are considered to be statistically significant (p<0.05).
