2.4 Statistical analysis
All data were analysed using GraphPad PrismTMsoftware. Normality testing was performed on all data using the
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Statistical comparison of two means was
performed using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -test should
the data meet normality. A nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test was used if
it did not. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean
(SEM). A p -value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
