2.7. Statistical analysis
Data analyses were evaluated with the Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS, IBM Corp.) version 25. Normal distribution and
homogeneity of the results were evaluated with Shapiro-Wilk and Levene’s
test, respectively. Parametric and non-parametric test assumptions were
done by Student’s t-test and one-way ANOVA, as appropriate. A p< 0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant
difference. Statistical significance is denoted by an asterisk.
