Descriptive statistics were employed, with continuous variables expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). With regards to tests of statistical significance, Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data, Student’s T-test for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test for multiple groups of continuous data. A p-value <0.05 (one-tailed) was taken to demonstrate statistically significant difference between groups.
