*2.6. Statistical Analysis*

SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used to conduct the statistical analysis. The data were expressed as the mean ± standard error of the means (SEM). Statistical significance was determined using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a least significant difference (LSD) post-hoc test and indicated using different lowercase letters (*p* < 0.05).
