  • Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M.

    The overall ratios are averages of individual ratios from the five steps.

    Values with different number superscripts (1-3) in each column are statistically different as determined by the Duncan's multiple comparison test (p < 0.05).

  • a n = 2; b n = 4; c n = 6; d n = 5; and e n = 1.
