| Group | BV/TV (%) | BS/BV (1/mm) | Tb.Th (mm) | Tb.N (1/mm) | Tb.Sp (mm) | BMD (mg/cc) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sham | 21.15±3.42 | 25.34±3.12 | 0.840±0.08 | 2.01± 0.4 | 0.41±0.11 | 408.80±21.55 |

a
P<0.01
b
P<0.05 vs. the sham group. BMD, bone mineral density; BS/BV, bone surface relative to bone volume; BV/TV, bone volume relative to tissue volume; OVX, bilateral ovariectomy group; Tb.N, trabecular bone number; Tb.Sp, trabecular bone spacing; Tb.Th, trabecular bone thickness.
