*2.7. Data Analysis and Statistical Analysis*

All data processing was performed in Microsoft Excel 2016 (Redmond, WA, USA) and SPSS version 22.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA). Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) unless otherwise stated. Statistical differences were determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc analysis for tests with two variables or two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's post hoc analysis for tests with three variables, where *p*-values below 5% (*p* < 0.05) were considered significant.
