XIC peak areas values (mean ± SD) normalized on TPC, frequencies and p-values obtained by statistical analysis by comparing the three patients' groups treated with different therapies by non-parametric ANOVA with the Krustal-Wallis test and Dunn's post test. p-values > 0.05 are not statistically significant (∙).
