p-value has been calculated using one-way ANOVA, and its interpretation is as follows: ns (p-value greater than 0.05), nonsignificant as compared to control
^*p-value between 0.05 and 0.01, significant at 5%
^**p-value between 0.01 and 0.001, significant at 1% as compared to control
^***p-value less than 0.001, significant at 0.1% as compared to control
