*2.3. Statistical Analysis*

Experimental data were tested against the normal distribution of variables (Shapiro —Wilk test) and the homogeneity of variance (Bartlett test) using R studio. The variables normally distributed with homogeneity of variances verified were subjected to an ANOVA

and HSD test. Data not normally distributed were subjected to the Levene test and a noparametric ANOVA analysis (Kruskal-Wallis test) and Dunn test.
