| OVX (n = 8) | Sham (n = 8) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BV/TV (%) | 0.99 ± 0.34 | 17.45 ± 1.59 | <0.0001 |
| Tb.N (1/mm−1) | 0.14 ± 0.04 | 2.16 ± 0.13 | <0.0001 |
| Tb.Th (mm) | 0.07 ± 0.008 | 0.08 ± 0.003 | 0.17 |
| Tb.Sp (mm) | 0.84 ± 0.02 | 0.27 ± 0.01 | <0.0001 |
| Ct.Ar (mm2) | 5.93 ± 0.07 | 5.22 ± 0.07 | <0.0001 |
| Ct.Th (mm) | 0.48 ± 0.004 | 0.39 ± 0.005 | <0.0001 |
Values are mean ± SE. BV/TV (bone volume (BV)/Tissue volume (TV)); Tb.N (trabecular number); Tb.Th (trabecular thickness); Tb.Sp (trabecular separation); Ct.Ar (cortical bone area); Ct.Th (cortical thickness).
