Effects of HBOT on serum OPG levels in ANFH patients. HBO therapy significantly increased OPG serum concentrations throughout the whole experiment. OPG concentrations were 5.61 ± 1.99 pmol/L, 7.90 ± 1.90 pmol/L, 8.97 ± 2.07 pmol/L (p < .01), 8.99 ± 1.46 pmol/L (p < .01), and 8.18 ± 1.31 pmol/L (p < .05) at T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively. T0: Baseline, T1: after 12 HBO, T2: after 30 HBO, T3: after 45 HBO, and T4: after 60 HBO. *p < .05; **p < .01
