Expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α; A), interleukin-6 (IL-6; B), interleukin-1β (IL-1β; C) and osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (OPG/RANKL; D) in the femur and tibia. Sham: rats that underwent a sham operation and were fed an AIN-93M diet; OVX: ovariectomized rats fed an AIN-93M diet; OVX-S: ovariectomized rats fed an AIN-93M diet with soybeans; OVX-M: ovariectomized rats fed an AIN-93M diet with mung beans; OVX-C: ovariectomized rats fed an AIN-93M diet with cowpeas; OVX-A: ovariectomized rats fed an AIN-93M diet with azuki beans. Data are expressed relative to the Sham group level, which was set at 100%. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 7).
