Serum estradiol levels (A) and BMD (B) were measured from 4-week-old (n=3), 12-week-old (n=8), sham (12-month-old, n=10), and OVX (12-month-old, n=10) rats. Blood and bone samples were taken 4 months post-ovariectomy. The statistical differences between sham and OVX samples are designated with * (p<0.05). The serum estrogen level and BMD were determined by ELISA kit and DEXA, respectively.
