Data were compared across experimental groups of mice (each on an individual row). Data represent means ± standard deviation for n = 5 mice per group and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple comparisons test. Experimental groups across individual rows labeled with different letters vary significantly (P < .05).
