Description: data is presented in the average ± standard deviation. The same superscript letters (a,b,c) in different rows but in the same group showed no significant differences (P>0.05). The same superscript letters (x) in different rows and the different group showed no significant differences (P>0.05). Mo: month, SS: stainless steel group, Fe: iron-based group.
