Table I.
Effects of various treatments on different bone parameters of osteopenic mice in different groups.
| Parameter | Group
|
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sham | Ovariectomy | CV4 | Mock | |
| Maximum power (N) | 32.16±2.89 | 20.66±4.07a | 28.31±5.12b | 23.67±4.24 |
| Stiffness (N/mm) | 58.51±2.26 | 45.76±3.11a | 54.11±3.98b | 47.96±5.21 |
Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation.
a
P<0.05 vs. the sham group and
b
P<0.05 vs. the ovariectomy group as determined using analysis of variance and a post hoc test. The experiment was performed in triplicate and similar results were obtained.
