All values are mean±SD (n=3).
Different lowercase letters (a-c) within the same column indicate significant differences among samples at the same concentration (p<0.05). Different uppercase letters (A-F) within the same row indicate significant differences among concentrations within the same sample (p<0.05), based on Duncan’s multiple range test.
