Statistical analysis revealed a significant increase in OD of all treated groups, with DEHP treated groups showing significantly higher levels than DBP treated groups; moreover, the highest dose of DBP exhibited a highly significant increase compared to the lower DBP doses ( p < 0.0001; F 6,63 = 20.10; ƞp 2 = 0.66; Fig. 12 h).
