2.6 Statistical analysis
Each experiment was carried out in triplicate unless otherwise
specified. All results are presented as the mean ± standard deviation
(SD). The experimental data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software,
version 6.0, and Microsoft Excel. For comparisons among more than two
groups, ANOVA (one-way and two-way) and the post hoc Tukey test. To
determine the significance between two groups, Student’s t-tests were
performed. Statistical significance was set at a p-value ≤ 0.05.
