Final body weight, body composition, and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans of the whole body and spine after 8 weeks of sham-operated (Sham) and ovariectomized (OVX) mice fed control diet or OVX receiving control diet supplemented with either 25% (w/w) dried plum, apple, apricot, grape, or mango. Values are means ± SE, n = 8 mice in each group. Within a given row, groups that share the same superscript letter are not significantly different (p<0.05) from each other.
