*2.8. Statistical Analyses*

The SPSS software program (ver. 24.0; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analyses. The Shapiro-Wilk test of normality was used to confirm the data distribution. The data normality was confirmed; thus, repeated measures analyses of variance were performed for general comparisons of MTT and wound healing assays. Independent *t* tests were performed for pairwise comparisons of experimental groups at each time point. One-way analyses of variance and Tukey *post hoc* tests were used for the ARS assay. *p* < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
