Values are mean ± SD.
*Means in the same columns and rows bearing same superscript small letters are
not significantly different (p ≥ 0.05)
**Means in the same row with the same superscript capital letters are not
significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).
***Means in the same column bearing different superscript capital letters are
significantly different (p ≤ 0.01).
