  1. Data shown are the means ± standard deviations
  2. aIndicates a significant difference with a p-value less than 0.05 compared with GII (p = 0042), GIII (p = 0039), GIV (p = 0038) and GV (p = 0037)
  3. b, cIndicates a significant difference with a p-value less than 0.05 compared with GI (p = 0049 and p = 0021, respectively GII and GIII)
