Effects of a low calcium diet on the static parameters of the femoral neck in OVX rats
| Group | Tb.Th (μm) | Tb.N (#/μm) | Tb.Sp (μm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sham | 137.43 ± 19.38 | 4.27 + 0.21 | 139.23 ± 29.48 |
| Ovx | 120.45 ± 27.23* | 3.26 + 0.30* | 205.32 ± 34.23* |
| Ovx + low calcium diet | 106.38 ± 19.47*,# | 2.67 ± 0.45*,# | 257.46 ± 37.56*,# |
Data are the mean±SE of 5 rats/group. Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; Tb.N, trabecular number; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation.
*
Significantly different from Sham group (P < 0.05);
#
Significantly different from Ovx group (P < 0.05).
