Results are presented as mean ± SE with corresponding statistical analysis. FB—fumonisin, BV/TV—bone volume over the total volume, Tb.Th—trabecular thickness, Tb.Thmax—maximum trabecular thickness, Tb.Sp—trabecular space, Tb.Spmax—maximum trabecular space, Tb.N—trabecular number, F—female, M—male. Statistically significant differences between groups (at p-value < 0.05) are indicated by a and b.
