Data are represented as median (interquartile range). A Mann-Whitney test was performed between Ctrl and OVX. A Kruskal-Wallis test was performed between OVX, ALN, and PTH. For each parameter that showed a significant difference with Kruskal-Wallis (p < 0.05), a Mann-Whitney test was performed to test for differences between specific groups.

C

different from Ctrl (p < 0.01).

O

different from OVX (p < 0.01).

o

different from OVX (p < 0.05).

A

different from ALN (p < 0.01).

P

different from PTH (p < 0.01).

p

different from PTH (p <0.05).
