Manipulation of Ovarian Function Significantly Influenced Sarcopenia in Postreproductive-Age Mice

Figure 4

Body composition. MRI analysis detected significant age-associated changes in body composition. (a) Body weight was significantly increased with age. (b) Fat mass was significantly increased with age and tended to be decreased with ovarian transplantation. (c) Lean mass was decreased with age and increased with ovarian transplantation. (d) Total body water was decreased with age and increased by ovarian transplantation. Values are reported as a percentage of the values in six-month-old control mice.
