  2. Values in the same column with different superscript uppercase letters differ significantly from each other. For ΔZ and LD, significance was determined using ANOVA followed by Tukey test (p < 0.0001). For R and SL, significance was determined using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (p < 0.0002 and p < 0.0001, respectively)
