Means with different superscript letters (capital per raw / small per column) were significantly different as p < 0.05.
Means with the same superscript letters (capital per raw / small per column) were insignificantly different as p > 0.05.
M mean, SD standard deviation.
*Highly significant difference as p ≤ 0.001.
