Figure 7. Comparison of TRACP 5b levels among the four groups at 12-weeks postoperation.

The serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP 5b) level of SHAM, OVX+NS, OVX+E and OVX+iCR groups at 12-week postoperation were determined using ELISA kit. Data represents the means ± standard deviation (SD), n=10 rats in each group. Compared with SHAM group, a means p<0.05, b means p<0.01; Compared with OVX+NS group, c means p<0.05, d means p<0.01.
