Values are mean ± SE in Sham and ovariectomized (Ovx) rats in the sedentary (Sed) and resistance training (RT) and in Ovx-Sed rats given 17β-estradiol (E2)
n = 8 rats per group. For 17β-estradiol, n = 4 rats per group
a: Significantly different from Sham-SED (P<0.05)
aa (P<0.01)
c: Significantly different from Ovx-SED (P<0.05)
cc (P<0.01)
