Investigators conducting the experiment and analyzing the data were blind to the experimental group until the end of the study and all analyses. Statistical analysis was performed using R software (3.6.2). One-way ANOVA was used for numerical variables, followed by the Tukey’s HSD post hoc test for multiple comparisons. Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used for nonnormally distributed numerical data. A value of p < 0.05 was considered significant.
