Declarations

: In this study, we used artificial intelligence tools, specifically GPT-4 developed by OpenAI, accessed through the OpenAI platform. The GPT-4-turbo version was employed for linguistic enhancement and data processing, providing guidance on the necessary transformations to adapt the data and suggesting which statistical analyses would be most appropriate to achieve the study's objectives. We ensured that the use of the AI tool occurred under strict human supervision, guaranteeing the accuracy and integrity of the results. This statement reflects our commitment to transparency and methodological rigor, ensuring that the integration and validation of AI usage were managed adequately throughout all stages of the research.

: All procedures involving animals in this study were conducted in strict accordance with ethical guidelines and were approved by the Ethics Committee on Animal Use (CEUA) of the Instituto Federal Goiano (IF Goiano). The study was designed to minimize animal suffering and to adhere to the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in animal research.
