Data are represented as mean ± SE. For -test values, is significant at , is significant at , and is significant at . For ANOVA analysis, within each row, means with different superscript (a, b, c, or d) are significantly different at , whereas means superscripts with the same letters mean that there is no significant difference at . LSD: least significant difference; NS: nonsignificant.
