Data represent the means ± standard deviation (SD)
The P-value is based on the Kruskal Wallis-test. Significance is at the 5% level. Post hoc pairwise comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction. Different letters indicate a significant difference at the 0.01667 (0.05/3) level
