Food consumption throughout the study, daily intake, daily Ca intake (Ca I) and body weight (BW) gain.

	Intake (g/60 days)	Daily intake (g/day)	Ca I (mg/day)	BW gain (g/60 days)
SHAM	967.6 ± 45.3	14.8 ± 0.1	77.0 ± 1.1	95.2 ± 22.4
OVX	1073.8±23.4^∗	16.6±0.3^∗	83.1±1.3^∗	143.0±31.2^∗
FOS	987.0±96.3^∗	15.7±1.4^∗	78.3±6.9^∗	129.4±27.3^∗
PDX	1022.9±109.4^∗	16.4±1.7^∗	81.9±8.8^∗	137.1±33.4^∗

Data are expressed as mean ± SD.∗P < 0.05 versus SHAM. Differences among groups were analyzed by Bonferroni test after ANOVA.
