*4.8. Statistical Analysis*

Multiple comparisons (LSD) and Pearson correlation were analysed with SAS statistical software (V9.1 SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Each value with three replicates represented as the mean ± SD. *p* < 0.05 was considered as significant between any two groups. A heatmap was generated via the hierarchical clustering method using the MeV 4.9.0 tool [79].
