UTL and supplemental vitamin A diets did not affect trabecular bone.

Trabecular bone mineral density (Tb. BMD; mg/cm3), as analyzed by pQCT, in tibia at 4 and 10 weeks of UTL and supplemented vitamin A diet. Vertebral bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV; %), trabecular number (Tb.N; /mm), thickness (Tb.Th; µm) and separation (Tb.Sp; µm) of the L5 vertebra via µCT after 4 and 10 weeks of supplemented vitamin A treatment and the 95% CI of the effect in brackets. Values are given as mean ± s.e.m. 1-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test vs control for tibia pQCT and Student’s t-test vs control for µCT of vertebra.
