Figure 6. MMF had no effect on whole-body, femoral or vertebral BMD.

Figure 6.

DXA analysis was performed as described in Methods and (A) whole-body BMC and (B) BMD, (C) femoral BMC and (D) BMD and (E) vertebral BMC and (F) BMD determined. The value for each mouse is shown as an individual symbol with the means ± SD illustrated as columns with error bars. The DXA scans showed a significant effect of OVX to decrease BMD and BMC at all sites on both diets. However, MMF had no effect on these parameters either in sham-operated or OVX animals except that there was a statistically significant effect of MMF on vertebral BMC only. Relative results for BMC at each site were similar (data not shown).
