*2.12. Statistical Analysis*

All analyses were performed either in Excel (*t*-test) or using GraphPad Prism 6 software (One-way ANOVA with correction for multiple comparisons—Dunnet's correction when comparing all groups and Tukey's correction when comparing all groups to the control group). Deviation from the mean was calculated using the standard deviation (Excel) or the standard error of the mean (GraphPad Prism 6 software).
