 Gene expression was normalized against β-actin via ∆Ct. Results are mean normalized to expression ± SEM (*n* = 0/treatment group/time point). Significant difference denoted as \**p* \< 0.00, \*\**p* \< 0.00, and \*\*\**p* \< 0.000 in post hoc multiple comparisons performed using Tukey's test following one-way ANOVA  A
