F3-150

Significantly different from V/V and A/A by χ2(df = 2, P = .04).

F3-151

Significantly different from V/V by ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc multiple comparison of the means of log-transformed data (P < .001).

F3-152

Significantly different from A/V by ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc multiple comparison of the means of log-transformed data (P < .05).
