Western blot measurements were analysed using ANOVA, and the Protected Least Significant Differences post hoc test (Fisher's post hoc test). Differences between two groups were evaluated using a Fisher's post hoc test. Results were considered significant at P < 0.05.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
