Table 11.

Changes in AMPK content in the two groups before and after treatment (x̅±s)

	Group	Number of samples	Before treatment	After treatment	t	P
AMPK (pg/mL)	Zhuanggu Zhitong Recipe Group	46	11.31±0.44	14.04±0.62	-28.10	0.001
	alendronate sodium group	45	11.26±0.38	14.12±0.61	-31.52	0.001

Note: The difference in AMPK expression levels between the Zhuanggu Zhitong Recipe group and the alendronate sodium group before and after treatment was calculated respectively. A normality test was performed on the differences between the two groups. The results were 0.274 and 0.951 respectively, which met normality. Adopt Paired samples T-test.
