Figure 2: PA was not osteoprotective against age-induced bone loss.

Figure 2:

Twenty-three-month-old C57BL/6 mice were placed on a low (8%)- or standard (18%)-protein diet with or without PA for eight weeks. At the end of the two-month period, bone density measurements were made on the now 25-month-old mice using a PixiMus densitometer. Total bone mineral density was significantly reduced in the mice placed on the low-protein diet. However, PA supplementation did not have any additional effect on either total bone density (Panel A), spinal bone density (Panel B) or femoral bone density (Panel C). Data are presented as mean ± SD; n=7–9 for each group. *=p<0.05
