^aNormal variance was homogeneous and expressed by the mean ± standard deviation (X ± S). Single factor analysis of variance was used for comparisons between groups
^bSkewness distribution was expressed by the median ± interquartile interval (Me ± IQR). Rank sum tests were used for comparisons between groups
^cIf the normal variance is uneven, it is expressed by the mean ± standard deviation (X ± S). Rank sum tests were used for inter-group comparisons
