TABLE 1.
Cortical and trabecular BMD (mg/cm3) as measured by CT scanning in experiment 1
After 78 days of chronic EtOH consumption, BMD measurements were obtained by using whole-body CT scanning as described under Materials and Methods. Statistical differences between treatment groups were determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Student-Newman Keuls post hoc analysis. Data in parentheses are S.E.M.
