Effect of OVx and concurrent ASF withdrawal (ASFW) on appendicular bones. (a) BMD at femur diaphysis and metaphysis, (b) BMD at tibia diaphysis and metaphysis, (c) BV/TV at femur metaphysis, and (d) BV/TV at proximal tibia metaphysis. Mean percent changes from baseline were calculated and shown (𝑛=15 rats/group). ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01, and ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001 compared to baseline.
