Comparison of alveolar bone loss in different groups.

Groups	Area of the periodontal ligament in the root furcation (mm^2)	Distance from the CEJ to the ABC (mm)
SHAM	0.25±0.05	0.46±0.03
OVX	0.33±0.07^∗	0.69±0.06^∗
SHAM + EP	0.35±0.10	0.71±0.06
OVX + EP	0.49±0.12^∗∗	0.82±0.07^∗∗

Values are expressed as means ± SEM; 𝑛=6.
^∗𝑃<0.05 versus SHAM rats; ^∗∗𝑃<0.05 versus SHAM + EP rats.
