Bone mineral density (BMD), lean body mass (LMB), and fat mass (FM) at the end of experiment. Orchidectomized (ORX) rats consumed either 1% cellulose (ORX-control), 0.3% GEB (GEB-L), or 1% GEB (GEB-H) in a 43% fat diet for 8 weeks. Sham rats had 1% cellulose (normal-control). BMD (a) in the lumbar spine and femurs, LBM (b) of the hip and legs, and FM of the abdomen and legs (c) were measured by DEXA. Each bar and error bar represents the mean ± SD (). of the bars with different superscripts were significantly different among groups in Tukey’s test at .
