Bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip (four hip sites and total hip; A) and lumbar spine (L1–L4; B) of rats in the Si-deprived (grey bars; n = 20 rats) and Si-supplemented (black bars; n = 10 rats) groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups (Si-deprived vs. Si-supplemented; unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test). BMDs are also shown for the standard rodent stock feed-fed group as a reference for normal rats (hollow dash bars).
