The Quantification of BMD and BMC in SM-treated rats. aBMD (A) and aBMC (B) of right distal femur ex vivo measured by DEXA, and vBMD (C) of right proximal tibia ex vivo measured μ-CT. OVX significantly decreased aBMD,by aBMC and vBMD, respectively. Although SM treatment tended to have a dose-dependent preventive effect, only treatment with 30 mg/kg body weight/day of SM significantly prevented BMD and BMC decrease induced by OVX. Note: *p < 0.001 vs Sham group; # p < 0.05 vs OVX group
