  1. The table shows: Area (μm2), Perimeter (μm), Length (μm), Width (μm), Elongation.
  2. Samples were assessed after thawing and after selection. Treatments: Androcoll-Bear 50% (A50), Androcoll-Bear 65% (A65) and Androcoll-Bear 80% (A80). Data are shown the model-derived mean ± s.e.m
  3. (A,B) Capital letters show differences (P < 0.05)
